2008 - Secondary - Honorable Mention - Morrison

Sticks and stones may break my bones,
But names can also hurt me.
Stones and sticks, it’s skin they hurt
While words are spirit breakers

Sticks and stones can hurt a lot,
But words will stay forever.
Cuts and scratches always heal,
But words, do they heal? Never.

Words and names have left a scar
That no body else can see.
Hurt from wounds will go away,
But hurt from words will not leave.
