Words

They say

only sticks and stones can break bones

That words can’t hurt

They were wrong though

I repeat the same words in my head

You’re not good enough

Loose weight

You eat to much

You’re a disappointment

You’re a failure

You’re so selfish

Each time it feels like someone takes a knife and stabs me in the gut

Twisting it back and forth with every word

But this “someone” is myself

Self inflicted pain hurts the most
