Let Me Bleed

I feel lost but I know this place well
Depression stuck with me, but I thought I escaped hell 
I've been through the worst times, and they got the best of me
The wounds will heal in their own time, until then let me bleed

sometimes a bandage doesn't help me to repair quicker
Wounds on show, scars on display
I'm painting my own story, I'm not here to share pictures
They can't take this amount of heart away

Wounds healing slowly, they just hurt from time to time
Told you I'm bipolar from the start, but my mind is fine
I paint pictures with words and rhyme in design
I lost my voice for a while, but I could still find the rhyme 

I tell it all, I don't remove a thing
Need to learn to fly before they shoot my wings
Always been the quiet type, I never spoke much
But I could write 200 rhymes in a poem and feel like I never wrote enough

I was my own parent, never had an older to show me the way
If you wasn't there for me when I was young, you won't grow with me today 
the scars I gained while I was younger and vulnerable
are the scars that made me stronger and helped me to feel comfortable 

I stopped missing those who Weren't worth me
I found peace with everything that used to hurt me
You either accept it and grow or you become it
You have to deal In your own way, but you don't grow from Numbness 

I feel lost but I know this place well
Depression stuck with me, but I thought I escaped hell 
I've been through the worst times, and they got the best of me
The wounds will heal in their own time, until then let me bleed
