A Tear from A Black Rainbow

By Lesa Heard

Observing the world out of the front window of her Palmer Park apartment has become Lauren's past time. She once loved her neighborhood with the green grass, beautiful trees and the serene park environment that brought her joy. Now it's filled with pain, sorrow, self-destruction and dysfunctional behaviors from her rainbow family to the heterosexuals. Why does everyone take things to the extreme just to be noticed? The things she sees and hear slowly consumes her. Lauren finds herself looking for a way out after her lover Darlene accuses her of not being capable of falling in love or loving anyone but Lauren's daughter Megan and even that is questionable. Lauren is a lesbian with swag who doesn't take shit from anyone and could care less about what people think of her. But Darlene's accusations pierce Lauren's soul. Without Darlene knowing, Lauren searches for answers by trying self-therapy and reminisces about her abusive childhood to the listening ears of Annie her upstairs neighbor. Meanwhile, her close friends Kim and people Lauren has met through Darlene began to reveal secrets about Lauren's relationships with her lover that sends her into a rage. What goes around comes around she believes as she goes down a self destructive path of her own. Lauren gets revenge in her own way...and boy does she.
