Stick and stones may break my bones but word can kill my soul

Back to the days when I was 8
When alls I heard was hate
Another “mother” who tore my life down
And life it in pieces on the ground
Memories I wouldn’t soon forget
Because u were supposed to be my outlet
The year have come and gone
I can’t lie its still a challenge to carrie on
It’s hard to live with you
Because of all the things u used to say and do
Like telling me you wish u was gone
You supposed to tell me to keep pressing on
After that day
I would just sit and pray
Staring out the window
Wishing I could just go
But never could
Sometimes I wish I would
As the years went on
The pains grew strong
The holes in the wall left hollow
Tells of the future that would soon follow
From my wrist there came bright red drops of blood
Tears soon began to flood
I sit on the floor
Watching the door
Now 16 years old
I stand strong and bold
You never new how much destruction your word caused
it left me with even more flaws
But you see
Sticks and stones may break my bones but your word will never hurt me

this was really good but i've got a couple hints.

1) watch your spelling, technically you've got poetic freedom but try using "you" instead of "u".

2) remember to add an "s" on the words that need it

Hi yvetters_24,

WElcome to piptalk!~ Awesome first post, ya know? I like this kind of poem, it tells how you are down, feeling weak, at first, and than it kind of builds you up, you find yourself. It's a very encouraging kind of poem, at least to me...

Anyways, like I said welcome, I hope you enjoy the site. I'll be looking forward to reading more of your work, until than, thanks for sharing

may be beautiful within."

welcome to passions!
its very good to have you.
this was a very good post for being your first one, im rather suprised. it was a great poem, but i'd also like to say watch your spelling and the words you use. Sometimes its harder to understand poetry if its written like "stick and stone may break my bones but word can kill my soul" instead of "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can kill my soul"

just a suggestion, but this was a very good write. thanks for joining and sharing!

Welcome to Pip!! I really enjoyed this poem by you, I would also just simply suggest to spell-check and fix grammar errors before posting.  It will make this great poem just that much better and easier to read.

Once again, welcome! I hope to read more from you soon!

I must agree with everyone else when i say, watch the spelling, it takes away from the whole poem.
