Jessica Goodell Poems

Does he see me?
Actually see me for who I am?
I can't be sure.
He says he loves me,
...

Why does he pull away from me?
What have I done?
What do I do now?
How do I make things better?
...

Looking in the mirror what do I see?
I see a girl.
She's scared and putting herself through pain.
She goes on putting her mask together.
...

A mother of five
Obsessed
Fun
Crazy
...

She looks through the pictures,
And what does she see?
18 years of her oldest daughter.
It seemed like just yesterday
...

Mothers are wise.
Mothers are caring.
Mothers are loving.
Mothers are forgiving.
...

Mysterious
Over Protective
Teacher
Healer
...

What happens now?
Baby on the way.
No money to help.
I'm so scared!
...

He tugs
I pull
He screams
I yell
...
