Birth Rite

This matriarchal affliction seeps through my blood.
A birth rite passed down through the X chromosome.
Great-Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother, Aunty, Sister,
We all have it. Cursed! Cursed, I tell you!
Apparently this loneliness is as deadly as living with cancer.

A forlorn assassin poisoning our hearts and minds.
