Jaquesha Webb Poem
You bury my hurt and my dreams
Stave me in the back and expect me not to bleed
You rather torment me then to leave
You love to put the blame on me
Your actions are the reaction because of me?
I'm acting out before I think
But In my brain there's a logical explanation for everything
I don't expect you to understand me
Been with you for a decade
And you still act like you don't know me
taking medications just to sleep
headphones over my ears to block out everything
shaking because I'm expecting you to swing
My fault I play the victim for everything
Let me close my eyes let me blink
Now your in my head
and I'm a whore for taking a picture of me
spending hours in the parking lot
I just need to think
I don't have the energy to argue with you
Or listen to you scream at me
regrets of going home
I cant change the way you think of me
You already have it in your head
That I can't think on my own
You put me in this box
knowing that I'm grown
Slowly suffocating me
Staring at me while I'm trying to breathe
back together but not mentally
holding grudges?? maybe
I still haven't forgave you for everything
Remembering I wanted this marriage thing
But I have to learn the hard way
My scenario for everything
Should have listen to my mom
Looked up now I'm alone
where did all my friends and family gone
burned all my bridge's keeping him at home
The Irony, so bad I wanted that family
My reality, feeling like I have
A demon at home assigned to me

Jaquesha Webb Poem
Dwelling in my satisfaction of being alone
my depression can get so deep
feeling like a ghost stepping in and out of my own reality
society has already labeled me
So I pray God please catch me before I drift away
battle with myself daily taking pills soon to realize there's no happy pill
people telling me you can't be happy until u learn how to love yourself
looking in the mirror and I don't like what I see
It's not all about image but what have I accomplish?
who I allowed to get in my way I floated way from my dreams
Mercy from people starts to fade once you reach that adult age
cold judgement because I didn't live up to your expectation
Thrown under the bus by familiar faces
kicked and I'm already down
driven over like a dead rodent in the pigment on the ground
then you expect me to resurrect myself
I'm only human I don't have the strength of Christ who carried society on his back
I'm all out of strength so I don't have the strength to fight back
feeling like one man against an army and you expect me to fight that
hiding like a tortoise in his shell
I don't want to answer my phone
hoping I can defeat this depression next season
until then I just want to be left alone
I'm hibernating I call it
my comfort zone.

Jaquesha Webb Poem
I walked up to the church
(And I swallowed my pride)
and asked the lady
can she please step aside
That my children are hungry
and can you please sacrifice
anything for them to eat
She gave me some oranges
and a couple bottle waters for them to drink
tired and exhausted traveling
from the capital of California
To the streets of Fresno
the shelter was are destination
We had nowhere else to go
now
im sitting in this shelter
looking at
these four little walls
trying to soak up everything
At least in these four little walls
My mind can collect some peace
without someone yelling nor screaming at me
Homeless with five children
lost on the La streets
domestic violence
wasn't the only reason
that brought me to my knee's
more like being hard headed
should have listen to my peers
had to bump my head
a couple of good times
Inorder for me to learn
the true meaning of peace
The definition of the struggle
Been trying to maintain and juggle
My reality
vs the reality of humanity
They judge me so hard
they judge me
before I even got to speak
why??
because my hair's a mess
Careless of how I dress
frozen stairs from people
looking at me
like I'm some kinda of freak
Look people
it's called stress
depression and anxiety
has kicked in
Now
anyone's opinion of me is obsolete
I hit rock bottom so fast
was hard for my mind
to calculate a thing
Afloat
I got my head a little above the water
Finally can take a breathe
without inhaling the water
done with people
all they do is talk
Literally
I had to crawl
Inorder to walk
Fighting through this storm
inorder to see the day light
And What angered me
Friends and family
judging me
thinking
with open arms
the government provide
I had to fight for everything
back in fourth through the courts
for everything
worked hard
for everything and
the Lord held my hand
threw the whole damn thing...
And what hurts the most
when it came to my kids father
Was him proving them right
And all i need him to do
Was show me a little love and proved
But instead he mistreated me
betrayal with a kiss
from my lover best friend
And true blood stress
just wanted to be alone
away from everyone
Not answering my phone
And wanted everyone
to leave me the hell alone
Lord knows
I just wanted to break
Yet he kept me day by day
didnt understand why
i had to endure so much pain
would have been a relief to break
didnt ask to be strong
Was losing my mind
because my kids didnt have a place
to call home sweet home
Looking to the sky
at least the sky is still blue
Just wanted to crumble
homeless with 5 kids
plus two with autism
My spirit was broke
felt like i was being tortured
like a fish taken
out of it's bowl
while still alive
slowly dying and being revived
stuck in a twilight
fighting with every element
If dont know my story
You couldn't relate with me
Im sitting here with tear on my face
praying that i may see brighter days
Stomach ach from this eternal pain
Hoping and praying that this season is almost over
Lord knows im humble
and im forced to stay focused there's no other option
the Lord gave me
but to succeed
for the 5 children he gave me...

Jaquesha Webb Poem
Negativity my silent killer
I can feel your negative energy
and trying to love you is poisoning me
Killing my creativity and hurting me spiritually
like a bird spreading her wings
My spirit needs to be free
Distracted by love
I can't forget about me
SHOULD I fight to keep us together
Much easier to leave in peace
Driving on enough energy to hold up me
Physically you may look together
But spiritually your apart
Should I sacrifice my stability
so we won't fall apart?
You fail to realize
God didn't create me
for you to weight on me
I can't built you up spiritually
I tried in the past
and I failed miserably
You forgot about me
Tell me how can I glide
With one broken wing?
can't hold a balance with you and me
You need to turn to God
we're spiritual beams
Are father is the only key to inner peace
sorry I'm only a human beam
you can't find inner peace in me
Feelings of isolation towards your negativity
sadly brings me to greater peace to work on me

Jaquesha Webb Poem
saddens me now that I lost your trust
How can we move on from here?
I tell you I love you
and u think its for another my dear
breaks my heart because I don't know how
to mend your heart from here
back and fourth you question my love
all because of miss trust has appeared
If I can rewind time and undo the hurtful things I've done
just to ease your mind from the hurt I've done..
I love u isn't enough
because there's no more trust
Can we move on?
because of the heavy damaged I've done
Are love will never be the same
maybe we should just go are separate ways...
With time are love can heal?
with a womb so deep the scar tissue will never fade away
just an ugly reminder of Untrusted broken love..

Jaquesha Webb Poem
A time for a change
I can feel it in my bones
Im a color so bold it stands on its own
God birth me in a race that wasnt build to break
Earth colors the warmth and beauty of my race
My skin shines a timeless glow a kiss from the sun
Proud# of the shape of my hips
Proud# of the fullnes of my lips
Proud# of the boldness in my nose
Its Time for a change i can feel it in my soul
Marching to the rhythm my ancestors slay for me
Dont care anymore for those how judge me
Im learning to love me
Im a woman i own me
Im black im beautiful
Im a proud mother
and Im loving me

Jaquesha Webb Poem
Put your hands up
"Don't shoot "
My- heart is beating at a faster pace
I- want to live to see another day
Now- the police is all up in my face
I- feel a sharp pain in my waist
I'm- another victim of race hate
If- we Unite together
we will see a great change
But- if we don't stand
our history Remains the Same

Jaquesha Webb Poem
Silly me for being naive
thinking you weren't going to hurt me
you were so good at surprising me
a blank stare, your grin and a bald up fist
after a few good hits I never underestimated you again
If I run away you would kill me exacted words you would say
Or you'll hurt my family
Me being a silly girl I believed everything you would say
You had your ways of making me stay
The threats, you running away with the kids
Really made me stay in my lane
You staying weeks away
with different women really didn't bother me
while you where away I got use to being alone
an ironic twist the time alone
Made me strong
I notice me and my kids had peace
while you where gone
until you came back to are home sweet home
There wasn't anything sweet about our home
If you didn't have things your way
NO friends nor family around me
You had a great way of pushing everyone away
Me being a Silly girl I relied on my depression as a cushion to ease my pain
It took eight years and no plans for me to escape
You could have killed me numerous times
But I'm still here because of God's grace
stepping outside a deep breath of fresh air
Yet I'm physically paralyzed because of fear
Silly me for never forgetting your words
Echoing in my head haunting me on repeat
That promise you always made to me
Putting it on your mother's grave
With that grin on your face saying,
you will kill me one day

Jaquesha Webb Poem
As human beings
some how we allow hatred to blind us
from the important things in life
Loving each other equally should be our mine priority
Is having A child like mind the key?
for the love from a child has no boundaries
killing the word racism
Knocking out barriers
looking threw that key
we could see that love
exist in all our hearts
Saddens me tragedy
always brings this out

Jaquesha Webb Poem
Isolations so satisfying
like a taste of sugar on my tongue
a deep breath of fresh air
an inmate after ten years set freedom
the joyful feeling of being alone
My guilty pleasure you see
I rather be alone then to have anyone bother me
I must admit sometimes i do get lonely
I try to go about socializing
a task that's very hard for me
sometimes i do forget the problems people bring
It's like getting hit with a heavy brick of reality
theres a lot of bad apples in this world
instead of weaving them out
I rather be alone in my own little world
My home sweet home
I guess you can say
my depression is a big part of me being alone
like giving into sin
its so wrong yet very satisfying
so go a head in walk on by don't mind me
I can careless if you don't speak
Isolation has never betrayed me
