unhinged

... and unfiltered

nobody knows how unhinged i could really be

that i can plant grudges

and harvest the fruits of resentment,

that will not poison me,

but you, who have wronged me.

and i don't even do it deliberately,

but you will feel it in your bones,

so don't you ever cross me,

i'm chaotic energy, barely reined in,

biding its time, just waiting.

i can be patient, but don't mess with the bull,

because

you will get trampled on.

my grandma says we had powers, and use it wisely.

sorry grandma, i can be a b*tch, and a witch,

and i'm surprisingly cool with it.

why can't people just get along?

all i've ever wanted was peace, but people are so goddamned noisy and nosy

and f*cking evil, it pisses me off.

sometimes i hate the males, and i often daydream what it would be like when all of them are gone.

like in that movie 'mars needs moms', but women shouldn't be like men at all. we are superior, don't try to be militant, that's why the martians in that movie failed. we should just be ourselves - free, caring, and loving of our own.

males always say they are the 'logical' ones, and women are emotional,

but studies show (google it!) that women usually have a larger hippocampus - which are critical for learning and memorization.

what do males have? a larger amygdala - making them scientifically, the emotional ones - but like an overgrown spoiled brat, a whole lot of them never considered anger to be an emotion.

women use more white matter, we are more complex thinkers, and if you're a male and you disagree with me,

look at all the pioneering males in history - and look critically, they have wives that were so much better than them, but these pathetic male "geniuses" you look up to have stolen the credit.

don't be like them.

sometimes i wonder if i'll get past the censors when i publish.

i hate editing so much, i normally just write on paper, and read out loud instead of typing. i voice type, i just had to edit a work i published days ago (parentheses here) and my stupid voice type wrote it. and i didn't notice it.

now i'm typing this, because it's unhinged. i know. absolutely. it's stream of consciousness, and i cannot be bothered to use proper capitalizations.

one last thing,

and i know i've written some about this before.

i'm not a feminist.

i can't be.

i don't believe in the equality for genders.

males can be bred out of oblivion.

women and queer people should rule the world.

i'm not sorry if this offends,

the challenge says,

unfiltered.

this is me,

all bared.
