Bleeding through ink

Hello everyone. I recently joined 7 cups because a friend of mine said that I understate my mental health and that this might help. Although it did help, I was happier finding all these forums as some of them are in my interest. I started writing poetry 2 yrs ago because I was going thru issues and didn't want to harm myself. So, instead of bleeding through my skin, I started bleeding through ink. This not only eased my pain, but also started attracting me more towards poetry. I hope that poems will be acknowledged here and not dismissed or made fun of, because when I showed my friends my poetry, they either made fun of it, calling it cringe or just said "nice", u know.
