6/30: TripleL-H Syndrome

I have this condition

that causes me
to make victims
of women
who don’t deserve
rusty razor blades
of my thoughts
to carve their names
leaving
clover-colored scars
on my heart

I have always hated you…

with an Ike and Tina addiction
and bruises
that tell stories
of battles
with my confidence

catapult

self-esteem into the sky
then burst into a room
and snap my wings
mid-flight

you remind me
of stop sign
to my marriage…

walk
as if you were born
two doors down
from privilege

smell
the sweet scent
of sibling rivalry

taste
like a pill
too bitter
to swallow

I am running out of options

and no "licensed professional"
has been able to help me

someone
please
find a cure

for those of us suffering
from Light-skinned Light-eyed Long-haired Heffa Syndrome…
