People may have sticks and stones,
And they may hurt me physically,
but they also have sharpened words,
They hurt me mentally
*
Words hurt just as bad as the sticks and stones,
They break my hopes not my bones.
They cut my heart not my arms.
Sticks and stones hurt just as bad as words.

Hey this is fallen here reviewing your poem :3 lets get started. First off your absolutely right in that words hurt just as much as words you nailed your thoughts perfectly. I enjoyed the flow and the set up of how you did this poem quite well. :3 I also like how relatable this is.
I agree with what converefiregirl said " This is a really good poem that I can relate to and I'm sure a lot of other people can too.
I think that the sticks and stones may break my bones and words cannot hurt me saying is very fake, and you have emphasized this very nicely in this. You say both sides of the story and I like that.
You compare the two in the last few lines very nicely. I particularly like that part, as it puts the poem into perspective and makes the reader see it from a distance, perfecting the piece overall.
Great job overall, I love this!

Over all that's pretty much it nothing negative to say Well done and keep writing

Hello! This was a nice poem ^^ It was concise yet informative of the message you were trying to get across. I like the theme going on, obviously regarding sticks and stones as the title states.
However, there's that but, your rhyme scheme is a little off at the second stanza? Perhaps it's just me...
Overall, I like it.
hi there.
first of all i want to say that i really liked this one, short and good,
i feel the same way about words, i think they hurt even more than the stones,
i liked some lines like
"Words hurt just as bad as the sticks and stones,
They break my hopes not my bones."
and
"but they also have sharpened words,
They hurt me mentally"
keep writting and good luck
