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
...

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
...

Oh what I wouldn’t do
to have you here
Next me
To feel your energy
...
