A Poem by Morris Jackson

Elevated

Above the noise,
above the doubt,
I rose.
Not because the climb was easy —
but because staying down
was never an option.
Blood & Marrow

Words that bleed so you don't have to

There's a place at the table
where silence sits heavy,
filling what love used to hold.

in every quiet room.

The Mask I Wore

They loved the version
I built for their comfort.
The real me watched from the back row.

Resilience
Iron and Honey

I was forged in fire
but I chose to drip honey —
softness is not weakness.

Grief
After the Rain
by Morris Jackson
The storm took everything —
but left me standing,
soaked in something
I didn't know was strength.
