Bullets

Whoever came up with the saying "Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" was an idiot! That is one of the biggest lies I think we tell. Words hurt so much worse then a broken bone. When you have been told time after time negative things, you start to believe them and it is even harder to start believing the positive things about yourself again. A friend of mine showed me a music video where the words coming from peoples mouth when negative were like bullets. I had been thinking on this piece for a while how I wanted to incorporate the negative words and when she showed me that video it fit perfect. The words shooting at me while I attempt to shield myself are words that he used to say or that I summed up into one word.... Fat, lazy, selfish, overprotective, unwanted, stupid, worthless, ugly, child, bitch.........
