The Bleed (Pt. 1) -a poem
The Bleed (Pt. 1)
The frustration,
I won't let it bring me to destruction
Instead, I let it bleed
From this pen I let it bleed out on the paper
All the confusion, the questions, and the pain
I let it bleed out on the page
I'm sick of all the criticizing
I'm sick of all the categorizing
I'm sick of all the gossip and talk that is going on around me
Whether it's about me, or not;
I hate the gossip
All this anger causes me to pick up this pen
And let it bleed on the paper
My feelings,
My emotions;
I take this pen and express myself through it
I let it bleed
I can't stand this pain,
And I don't know how to escape it
So, for now, I'll keep going
And I'll keep expressing
I'll continue to bleed my pain on the paper
Hopefully, someday, all this bleeding out will turn into something extraordinary
Til' then, I'll keep bleeding on this page
And I'll keep releasing and expressing myself on this piece of paper
