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
