choose your words wisely, for they hold power

to make or break me, each passing hour

your words can destroy my self-esteem

and leave me shattered like a broken dream

you body shamed me and I felt so small

your words broke and I lost it all

i suffered from depression, trapped in pain

a prisoner of your words, with no escape to gain

but I found my strength and I opened the door

i freed myself from the cage I’d been living in before

so choose your words wisely ,for they can hurt

but can also heal and help us to assert
