Bleach Blonde by Teresa Brickey
CW: mention of rape

Boxed hair dye,
bimbo,
Cure this broken heart.
I am Tonya Harding,
Call me white trash and
I will spit in your goddamn milk.
Now, in bed, I lay alone,
Where you used to be.
Lol, how mf sad.
When I was five,
I dressed up as Medusa For Halloween.
She was raped, too.
At Disney World,
Gut me, from the inside out and outside in,
I will call you my Pinocchio, baby.
When it rains, let it pour
All the way down my throat,
Until I don’t think about you anymore.
