Sticks and Stones

[intheheart]

Title: Sticks and Stones
Rating: PG.
Summary: Michael, on life.
Notes: This is not quite a textbook kyrielle, but it keeps to the spirit of the thing.


Sticks and stones can break my bones
and words will always hurt me
I face alone the vast unknown
But nobody can break me.

Every day I am betrayed
By body, world, and family
With no one's aid I walk the blade
And nobody can break me.

I'm counting crows and reading prose
For clues and hope are scanty,
Life is a blow, but well I know
That nobody can break me.

I've got D's back and she's got mine;
My friends are my new family.
I'll hold the line, I will not whine
'Cause nobody can break me.

My bones may break, my heart may ache
But it's all temporary
There's hope to take when I awake
For nobody can break me.
