ANDREA JACKSON

Artists Bio

i've been sitting here going over 8 hours thinking what exactly to put down...so here goes my name is Jackson, i have a first name...but i don't use it often. I do different things, odd crafting with duct tape, write, act, and tinker with a drum or two. Mostly i write poems. The question posed to me and my purpose for writing this tid bit: Why? What makes me write? In all honesty i haven't the slightest clue, might be my so called fate if one would believe in that, it is my way of venting built up feelings, or the simple but untrue statement that i wish to be a writer someday, trust me that someday'll never come. i write for me, yeah others like what i write, but i don't write for praise, i write because its there inside that wants out...sounds kinda phunie but i write because if i didn't my feelings wouldn't go inside a little corner in the bottle of my 90% of free space called the rest of my brain, it would clutter my thoughts and i would talk even phunier than i already do. i've been writing since i was 12 but me being as responsible and caring about my stuff as i am i lost all the things i did from back then. My poems aren't for everyone...or anyone particular, well maybe me, but that is because they are my poems, all of my poems have something about me in it. When i write i put my heart in it, kind of bad when i need to write for a given topic if i don't care for said topic, but when i do actually write it's something all right. what exactly? i don't know but it sure is SOMETHING. if you kind folks out there do take the time to read something of mine know this, i warn you now i write what i write because i feel it, and no one feels happy all the time, but in my case it can't call be grey clouds...they're pitch black. this is a first for me, i've shared my poems but never like this. my poems mean something very deep to me they help me out in ways i'll never understand because it's being able to put thoughts emotion and feeling in verse that is well...fluent and makes slight more...much more sense than the chaos in my head. read my poems and see what i'm saying for yourself. in all honesty i don't think much of my poems, some call me blind, or humble...i say i'm either oblivious or my favorite i have no self esteem. my poems are my poems...and well they are more than just a part of me...they're a reflection.

Falling
Darkness 
Blacker than the midnight hour
taking my soul down to devour
falling into this void i feel nothing at all but pain
spinning in circle going to fast 
everything so black i can’t tell
am i falling
am i flying
am i moving at all
you give me a rope but it's to short
i cry out in rage not knowing what's wrong
you try to reach me with a ladder 
but two feet to small
i look at you with desolate blank eyes
no soul is left to watch you cry
you give me your hand i ignore it and 
fall more and more forever more
you scream out begging me to stop
just to tell you why
but no your cries fall on deaf ears
i fall into this void so fast so small
i plummet down not ever once hearing your cries
you give me everything you can think of
falling...
calling...
crying...
darkness...
and then...
then you give me your love
and i stop
