Get ready to dive into the genetic soup of emotional turmoil! Lia Marie Johnson crafts a haunting tale of inherited trauma and the fear of becoming what we dread most—our parents. With "Dark as midnight" and "Six pack Coors Light," she's not just setting a scene; she's painting a portrait of familial chaos. The blue and red lights? A siren call to the past's grip on her present. Our protagonist wrestles with her reflection, both literally and metaphorically, fearing that DNA is destiny. She sees herself in her parent’s eyes but fights tooth and nail to break free from that legacy. It's an anthem for anyone who looks in the mirror and asks, “Am I doomed to repeat history?” Spoiler alert: You can't outrun your genes, but you can sure as heck try!
