here is to sticks and stones

As a pre- i can remember wondering if i was actually mentally challenged and everyone around me was just pretending that I was normal. I was called stupid and dumb more times than my own name by peers, siblings, and even my parents. This is the scar that refuses to heal.
I find that often when someone tells me i am smart, i conjure up excuses as to why they are mistaken. "They must have misheard me" ... "I was accidentally witty" ... "they will realize soon that, that was a fluke." Bull Shit words will never hurt me!! I watch my thin sister starve, vomit, and constantly work out to the point of exhaustion, because she was told she was fat. I've seen my beautiful friend cake on make-up, dye her hair, and change her style to look like everyone else because she heard she was ugly.
So I'll take those sticks and stones, and you keep your words, thanks.
