Sticks and stones
could break my bones
but that word hurtsso much worse
You're all so eager to throw those stones
let he who loves me cast the first

To those of you who loved me
and harbored my immature schemes
thank you
It is from your love and encouragement
I found the strength to live my dreams

To those who barely knew me
or pretended not to see
thank you
You taught me to be blind to hate
and live in my own reality

To those who never knew me
or hated me for no reason
thank you
Your grimaces made it easy
to enjoy the few times kindness was in season
