Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words
Pierce my heart

Bitter lines
Don't fade with time
My world's
Torn apart

Show my scars
Seen near or far
I will
Wear proudly

Strong and free
Scars of beauty
Helped grow
Made me, me

Bullying stays with you the rest of your life. I learned to live with it by using it as an experience to help me grow.

I love it! It's so true and the rhyme scheme is good too.
