im not stable
baby im 18
i keep checking on you
but dont forget you are supposed to check on me
when every other word out of your mouth
is how stressed you are
but im the one who has nothing
im the one who just lost everything
and with my wounds still open
i had to deal with ones you didnt bother closing
now mine are infected
and i forgot how to heal

Your trauma made you stronger
You can tell me that all you want
But that didn’t make me stronger
It gave me sleepless nights
It left me in tears
I made me stronger
Because I had to deal with the consequences
That weren’t even my fault
I did that
Don’t give trauma any credit
For my strength

Dear someone
Why do I open my doors
Let you take over my world
Occupy my mind
Let you take over my world
Even though I know
You’ll leave me in the end

I wasnt kidding when I said I love you
I meant it with all my heart
All my soul
With all of me
you are my world
don't pretend not to see
how happy I am
how in love I am
how much I want to be with you
because I love you is hard
but with you it comes easy
Melanie Jackson Jul 2022
wherever you may go
wherever you may be
I will stay with you
through any tribulation
through any fight
ill wait for you
ill stay up all night
because even if we scream at each other
fight like we don't want to be together
feel like we're crashing
I know we were meant to last
I know that you are my last
because my heart chases you
and wherever you may go

i can still remember the night
that you came home and you weren't sober
and you loving arms that excepted me
and where always there to comfort
turned in to fists that never wanted a daughter
and they beat me till i learned not to struggle

i can still remember the day
that you came home and you started drinking
and your loving eyes that welcomed me
and were always happy
turned into anger that should have never had a child
and bore wholes into me till I gave up
Melanie Jackson Jul 2022

im a wreck
im a broken toy

ive been discarded
been ******* up

but I'm still kind
I'm still happy
I'm still strong
