When you called me crazy in high school,

It struck cruel,

and made me feel like a fool

for even loving you.

For words aren't just themselves

so when she said I was handsome,

I thought it was another spell

Lies disguised to harm me

and then some

I've since learnt that what others tell us,

is a reflecton of theirselves,

and the only utterance worthy for indulgence,

is what we tell ourselves

For words aren't just themselves,

but magical in nature

so the next time you label someone,

be careful.
