Bleeding (some peace)

If there was a way to stem this bleeding

I would

For the wound that needs healing

Never could

As long as I remain around

This toxic negative energy

So it is I must reach for the good

As an antidote to all of this pain

And lately I have understood

How some of us get to become

The toxic dumping ground

As if we did not suffer enough

From an emptiness we remained trapped inside

When neglect left us so imprisoned and unaware

Of love

That we stopped reaching

Or only chose the ones who would

Reinforce our imprisonment

Blame the victim

Its what society does

Never seeing truly

The forces that led us to being victimised

But maybe in time

We will find release

Over time

Some peace

From the wounds that for so long

Drove us only towards

Isolation and despair

Maybe over time

And with learning

We will find the strength

To mount the stairs

And find our way back

Slowly over time

Climbing and rising

Towards the light
