My name is Jackie.
These are just words.

Texas born, New England transplant.
Half guerita, half Chicana.

Mirror's reflection
My face an amalgamation
Their voices inside me now
Hated, unwanted
Damnation echoed back
Shadow became foe
Bottle became friend
I sang the family tune
Still sunlight found me
In that crack in the sidewalk
Even thistles bloom

A #poem written entirely of anger.

"My grandpa told me of cotton and the stinging of his hands.
He told me of the men who came and took his father's lands..." (Cont. below)
