Chanel Jackson Poems

Everyday it’s a struggle
with expectations so high.
Yet you still grumble
“That won’t get you by.”
...

Images flash in my mind
like pictures on a movie screen
playing over and over again.
Do I say something
...

Am I good enough?
It’s a question we all ask.
It echoes persistently in our ears,
As we wonder in fear
...

I never met this person
I’ve talked to her
Day and night
Meeting her was different
...

It’s so common in our family
But is there a limit to this endless bickering?
Is there such thing as too much?
Before it ends in such dreadful pain?
...

Looking in the mirror
And what do I see?
An unhappy, ugly girl
Staring back at me
...

They say you have control
You can pick
And you can choose
But there’s always the possibility
...

It’s sad how things
Especially good things come to an end
But they must
So that we may start a new beginning
...

Pen point
To blank paper
making
Curves and lines
...

It’s so hard to love you
When you’re so far away
Can’t hold you like I want to
When no longer seen is the sun’s last ray
...
