This makes me think of the old "sticks and stones" dictum. A charming little poem, somehow more so because it was written by you. Though I'd suggest putting a comma after the first "cry" and "either," and you missed a "me" before the second "cry."
"We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges." - Gene Wolfe
