Can Anybody Hear Me

Am I alone when I speak or can anybody hear me? Because I'm bipolar a lot of people say I don't want that freak near me I'm just trying to be normal, I'm not trying to make you fear me Can anybody hear me? I'm open about my mental health problems to make things clearer I wish people would embrace that, instead of judging me Dreams of one day being happy enough to look into the mirror Depression beating and attacking me without anyone hugging me Anxiety makes me over think and leaves me with a heavy heart Makes me uncomfortable in public and gives me sweaty palms Paranoid thinking everyone is staring at me Was I born this way? Or is it because I grew in care and never had my parents with me? I'm happy for weeks, sometimes months, then it all changes I'm bipolar so my moods aren't in my control, and I can't tame it I've had to learn to live with it, and I'm still adjusting Not sure what's harder being bipolar or people's judgement I was addicted to self harm for five years I used to wear long sleeves to cover up the scars that I wear But now they're covered with tattoos, so I no longer have to hide my arms I'm just a damaged person, with mental health problems but I've got a good heart Am I alone when I speak or can anybody hear me? Because I'm bipolar a lot of people say I don't want that freak near me I'm just trying to be normal, I'm not trying to make you fear me Can anybody hear me?
