Poetry/Spoken Words

Bleed - Heal - Bleed

I bleed to heal and then I bleed all over again. Never the same cut twice, the next deeper than the last.

I yearn for a time where I bleed to heal to bleed no more. I fear for a time where I bleed to heal no more.

What does it feel like to smile without a frown underneath? I wouldn’t know but I want to.

What does it feel like to be genuinely happy and free? I wouldn’t know but I want to.

Tough times do last. The goal is to outlast the tough times. So, I will give it all it takes to bleed no more and be free. I am hoping to break the cycle that I refer to as

Bleed- Heal - Bleed
