TAKING ON WORDS

Taking on words
Just repeating what you heard
The verbal bullies take on many forms
Man, Woman, Boy, Girl
A internet post
A note
A copy of a receipt
           (JUST DON'T TIP AND END IT, don't want to hear it)

Words hit deep as you sit there and think
Ripping at your gut
Churning in your stomach
Stretching your temples and breaking like glass

Taking on words
It is not what you are
You think to much
To stop is so hard

You know you
If they got something to say
Let them come find you
Go on with your day
Got to much to do

Taking on words
Soaking them up like a dirty rag
Than washing you face later
So they called you a fag
Ya hatter
Just take another drag

Words are not you
Your a body containing a soul
With many lives many experiences
That you hold
These words are insignificance

Taking on words
Just hold you down
