Sticks and Stones - Lyrics Critique - Rock

I'm 13 and this is one of the first songs I've written.
Why does it matter to anyone else,
Why do they have to make it such a big deal,
Does it make them feel tough inside,
But nobody knows, how hard it is to heal.
Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but words will kill my pride.
I’m just a kid who’s being himself,
And everybody’s trying to tear me down,
I feel weak when I say that it’s working,
And they get the satisfaction of seeing me frown,
*What’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with me,
When all I know is the things you call me?
Constant harassment, constant pain,
Infecting the blood running through my veins,
Sticks and Stones will break my bones, but words will break my mind.
The call me names and I feel so helpless,
Like time is frozen but I can’t sit still,
Or they’ll attack me with words of hatred,
I'll stand there helpless while they go in for the kill,
Why do they care about the shirt I’m wearing,
Why do they care about the color of my skin,
Why do they care about what they see on the outside,
When all they’re hurting is what’s beating within,
**What’s wrong with you, what’s wrong with me,
When all I know is the names you call me?
Constant harassment, constant pain,
Infecting the blood running through my veins,
Sticks and stones will break my bones, but you will kill my pride. X3
