Isn't it ironic? We ignore the ones who adore us, adore the ones who ignore us, love the ones who hurt us, and hurt the ones that love us.

They say words can't hurt,
they say we let people hurt us.
They say we're stupid to do this.
They say we can't hold onto the past.
They say we're useless.
They say we'll never become anything.
They're wrong.

They say we're foolish.
They say we'll regret this.
They say we aren't listening.
They say we are hopeless.
They say we're cowards.
I say they're wrong.

If you've been told these things,
remember,
they're the fools.
For not seeing how deep their words hurt.

&ldquo;Gods of Olympus.&rdquo; Piper stared at Leo. &ldquo;What happened to you?&rdquo;<br /> His hair was greased back. He had welding goggles on his forehead, a lipstick mark on his cheek, tattoos all over his arms, and a T-shirt that read HOT STUFF, BAD BOY, and TEAM LEO.<br /> &ldquo;Long story,&rdquo; he said.&rdquo;
