&quot;Forget all the rules. Forget about being published. Write for yourself and celebrate writing.&quot;<br /> -Anonymous


I stand big and tall,
And you watch me fall,
But nothing can really hurt me.
You say sticks and stones,
But I laugh and say,
Nothing can really hurt me.
The mask I wear,
The armor I hold,
Are all just nothing to you.
I stand big and tall,
And you watch me fall,
But something’s
Really do hurt me.


The author's comments:
Some people pretend that they can withstand any kind of abuse, and hide the fear they really have. In the end, everybody can be hurt.

You have the power to live another Childhood, so open up the door leaving back your doubts.

This is very to the point and I like that as well, and the emotion that you are portraying is really good as well:) 5/5 please read and comment on some of my poems:)
