Hello. My name is Melissa Medrano. I am 22 years old. I am from a small town called Colville about an hour from Spokane. I have experienced with drugs and alcohol for years. I wrote my first poem when I was incarcerated in county jail, and learned quickly that writing down my life struggles on paper helps relieve my pain. It makes coping easier even if it sometimes contains humor. I like to make people laugh. I write when i'm angry, happy, sad, confused, and when I believe I have been magically cured from this disgusting disease, drug addiction. So here is a collection of my ups and downs in my life.
I'm saying goodbye once and for all
I'm turning the tables it's your turn to fall
I thought you were my friend from the very beginning
But to you friendship has no meaning
...
I know we got off on a rocky start
I really want to thank you from the bottom of my heart
For those of you who had faith in me and knew I could change
This is to you it's a promise, I won't be the same
...
High in the heavens, Looking down
God by your side, True happiness is finally found
The best grandma anyone could ever ask for, God bless your soul
Looking over our family, Our guardian angel
...
My big brother wrote this to me after I sent the Big Bro poem I had written to him in jail, as he was waiting for his prison sentence
I want to write you a letter, but don't know what to say
I feel like a piece of sh , like my futures full of grey
