Bleeding

I thought it might have passed, but the need for blood haunts me

I’m bleeding once again
Wounded by my own hand
A habit that I thought had passed
Haunting me

I’m savoring the pain
Physical and real
The world is just too big
To hold inside of me

I’m bleeding once again
Bring the agony outside
I’m needing once again
This blur of madness
Sharpened

And my scars will tell my stories
And my scars will read my name
My scars forever with me
No shame

I’m bleeding once again
The way I’ve learned so well
To validate this life
So I can breathe

I have no one to love right now
No voices but my own
Thought it might just pass
Tried staying numb

I’m bleeding out acceptance
Draining all of me
Can I even touch these feelings
So deep

And my scars will tell my stories
And my scars will read my name
My scars forever with me
No shame

And my scars will be reminders
Of what’s buried inside
My scars forever silent
Can’t lie

And my scars will say remember
The girl that you once were
Never far behind you
Don’t loose sight of her
