Jordann: Poems

Letting Go

Jordann Apr 2018

I had always felt like a blue whale.
Struggling to stretch from your net.
Beached in the shallows of your ego.

But I was built with the lungs
The heart
And the strength
To dive
Deeper
Than you’d ever let me.

- Letting you go was the beginning of me.

To My Mother & Father

To My Mother & Father

How could I tell you
About the abuse
When my whole life
You fought tooth and nail
To provide me the tools
To protect myself?

I was so concerned about my own pain
That I forgot how the world crushed you
Over and over again

And yet

You still you found
the strength
To love me.

Your Wife

Jordann Apr 2018

Your Wife

I envied her
For having
All that I thought I wanted

Now
Every night
I pray for her
Hoping she finds the strength
To escape the sharp and rusted hooks
Of your abuse.
