There was once a boy who was afraid of words. Words uttered and words meant, he felt, were never the same. He realised this as soon as his mother whispered how beautiful he was even when his face was the source of teasing and amusement. He wasn't ugly, but he wasn't beautiful either. What word could describe the streak of scar running angrily across his face. The left eye drooping into a saggy sack of exposed veins and white black blue red. The mouth split into two sides, the lips undiscernable and broken and disconnected. The face that would never be a whole, but an assemblage of cracks and pieces of skin puckering into perpetual horror. He wasn't ugly, and he wasn't beautiful. He was a monster. And that's what they called him.
There was once a boy who was afraid of words. Because words hurt him and beat him up into a spiral of wretchedness, one he is unable to ascend above. Because words sometimes told you the truth, and truthfully, it never helped.
