breaking cycles
ive been working on my karma
trying to out run you
everyday is so much work
to be a better person than you raised

cause ive been working on breaking cycles
trying to escape your circles
i refuse to give light to the trauma you caused
i wont pass it to my next generation

Rearveiw mirror
Melanie Jackson Jan 2021
You brought me downhill
At such a steep incline
That all we could see was the skyline
In the rearveiw mirrior
Driving faster picking up altitude
Till I start to question the life you have lead
But you laughed about it
When I Said one of us had to jump off
*** the weight of the two of us
Was Starting to effect me
Trying to save both your mental health
and mine
Became a job I wasn't built to handle

heal
Melanie Jackson Feb 2023
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

— The End —
