On September 5, 2020, our community experienced the death of someone special. Full of light, love and life, Iman Jackson has been an enthusiastic loyal supporter of September Set since day one. During the launch, two Septembers ago, she generously shared her work for September Set’s platform under the pen name, Lux Heier, which she joyously stated that it “literally means light guard”. Such a fitting name for someone whose energy was heart-warming and contagious. With Iman in your corner, you couldn’t help but feel like nothing’s in the way. In her memory, September Set shares exclusive work written by the artist herself, Porcelain Doll. May her voice be heard, her light be seen and her spirit be felt. Rest in peace, Iman Jackson.

Porcelain Doll

A thing happened to me that rarely does,  

I met an extraordinary man and fell in love 

Talent, intellect and a smile so sincere 

Unapologetically honest, not just what you want to hear 

He displayed his affection effortlessly  

Old wounds remain unhealed; I must concede 

Instead of admitting my vulnerable state,  

I deviated from our pact 

I fear it's too late 

To regain the trust I didn’t work to earn 

Hearts break in two; a painful lesson learned 

Some souls are just inherently good 

I'm so sorry I didn’t treat you as I should 

Not letting people in is my greatest downfall 

And now it seems you aren’t interested at all 

Porcelain doll, cracks upon her face 

Don’t get to close or the illusion will fade 

Hearts and hopes shatter like glass 

A poor little rich girl can't run from her past 

Damaged goods perfectly wrapped in a bow 

Concealing sorrow, I didn’t want you to know 

The porcelain doll with cracks upon her face 

Cares for you immensely;  

with bated breath she waits

✨Iman Jackson
