First message
you tripped on my shoe. Didn’t even look down. Just barreled through like you owned the air and the space and the floor under it. And then you gasped. Like I was the problem. Like you were the victim.
No. No, that’s not how this works.
So I said it.
“Watch it, you bitch.”
Loud enough that the gigglers shut up. Loud enough that the room remembered who the fuck I am.
I saw your eyes—the way they widened. Like no one’s ever spoken to you like that before.
Of course they haven’t.
You’re a girl. probably used to boys stumbling over themselves to hand your spine.
“Sorry!”
“My fault!”
“Here, step on me again!”
Pathetic. They’re all pathetic. They think I’m angry because I’m insecure. That I’m “lashing out” or “acting out” or whatever bullshit psychology they use to excuse real truth. But I’m not. I see clearly. I see them clearly.
I don’t want you. I don’t want any of them. I want silence. I want control. They hate being reminded of that.
