Hear No Evil

Hear No Evil


I can’t hear you
La la la la la
Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words
Will never hurt me
Except they do
They cut deeper than 
The sharpest blade
I just don’t bleed
My friends say
Let it go
In one ear
And out the other
But the problem is
I still hear it 
I don’t want to listen anymore
So I put on my headphones
Turn up the music
Tune out all the chatter
Deaf is my defence 
What's that you say?
I point to my ears
I’m sorry
I can’t hear you
