Musings on Life from a Dead Girl

Generational Curses

Trauma is passed down through families like heirlooms

Most people deny this

Others simply turn a blind eye to it because it's easier than admitting you fucked your kid up

Either way it keeps happening

The older generations don't just dump on us though they surely do give us ways to cope

They pass down their vices too

Like mother like daughter

Like father like son

and on and on

But bottling up your feelings will only work for so long before you implode on yourself

So, it keeps happening

The trauma drips down through the lines of family's tar-like

Turning bright, fresh hearts black like coal smut
