The thing that plagued me, what I wish I knew
Was how to get back that version of you

Tree house

So if your soul ever feels alone
Carve me out and build a home

Objective

My trauma, my pain molded & shaped me
Without them this version would cease to be

Melinda Barrett Dec 2018

I’ve been writing again which means my hearts been abused
Bleeding out the words until the pain becomes reduced

How many soul connections have you had? two, maybe three?
Fate isn’t as clandestine as she pretends to be

Roulette

Love holds you at gunpoint
Intentionally pulls the trigger
Hides the bullet casings
And wonders why you’re gun shy

Cloud mine

Reality is unforgiving so I keep my head up in the clouds
Yes I’m introverted because my thoughts are way too loud
