Double-Sided Curse of Healing

The double-sided curse of healing, the double-sided curse of healing from past pain, past trauma, from past events that you thought will simply go away if you just squeeze your eyes real tight. The double-sided curse of healing when you thought the horrid events, and decision-making you made as a child will simply fade because you are no longer nine-years-old but now is twenty-nine years old. Oops, they forgot to mention, that your current adult decisions, life events, entanglements, side-flings, and sneaky-links will reopen these wounds, and got you asking yourself “Do a bish need therapy, I thought I was over this?!” Black people don’t need therapy, I must keep this reopen wound locked on the inside so I must stay socially acceptable because this is what the mass media is programming us, and telling us that is how I can finally get my white picket fence, a quarter-acre, and a mule.
