‘Where’s your kids at? I have mine. Time is ticking.’ – known imbecile
Gone are the days that people are proud of you for all you’ve accomplished, starting from the pits of society. Don’t seek them as they’ve been eradicated.
My credentials are visible to those that wish to see them. I’m not a foghorn or a viral social media post. I’m Unique.
I’ve spent a lot of time focused on my interests. I’m assigning large quantities of time to my creative pursuit. Makes no difference in the eyes of a known individual who recently mocked my womb.
A womb that is ageing with each passing year, ridiculed for not yet producing offspring. *Don’t take a moment to see if a woman is medically okay!
Air your deep thoughts during a discussion about facilities in a household that is not shared. They felt it was fair to desecrate on my womb credentials – ‘time is ticking.’
There are some people throughout my life that I’ve stepped back from and stopped talking to. The cut-off. The known individual has been added to this category of ignorance.
No woman should be made to feel inadequate based on the thoughts of an ignorant form of existing life.
No woman should be made to feel useless because their womb has yet to bare seeds.
No woman’s education should be discarded because known individuals believe women belong in the kitchen and caring for children.
No woman should have to experience the levels of disrespect that I recently went through.
…
To the known individual,
Your comments shot through my existence ten-fold. I’ll never forgive your ignorance.
The fact you feel your docile mind has any room in the world to comment on any womb is beyond me.
Your current partner has a womb.
Your daughter has a womb.
Will you impose the same taunts onto them?
I wonder if your role was reversed and you experience the nightmares many women face. If you’ll still make scornful comments.
I’ll never forgive your Incomprehension on mindfulness and basic respect.
Always remember your comments and do express them to your partner and your daughter if ever they face similar womb trials and tribulations.
They stab your soul and act as you’ve harmed them.
Their lies are accepted by those who look akin to their reflection.
They wear burgundy, they dress professionally.
They spread lies – faster than coronavirus.
They breed and multiply, they outlive the good ones. It’s like they never fade away and die.
Snakes slither around my feet, acting weak and in need like their life is deep and unseen by Unique.
They don’t strike out and bite into my Achilles muscle. They slither back and report I stomped on their heads. The slither by again, slower than the first time, they smile as they’ve successfully poisoned the ignorant heartbeats, within my space.
A group of snakes can hiss the same shit, they can do that daily. This does not equal the truth being reiterated by one.
A pit of snakes slid through my path, they tricked the masses and smiled at me during the process. Upon reflection, I now realise your life was never more than an insignificant birth.
The bus was crowded but I boarded as the weather was awful and I needed to get home.
There was no space so I stood near to doorway, the driver shouted for us to move further down the bus, but there was nowhere to for us to go.
I held on tight to the nearest bar and tried to avoid leaning into people when the bus made hard turns. That’s when I felt your coat, sliding across my left arm. Back and forth, once was enough – but then it continued, I looked around and I looked at you, but you did not look at me. The texture I felt had vanished.
You looked ahead in the direction you were facing and that was beyond my presence.
I froze.
I turned away. The bus swayed and came to a halt, it wasn’t my stop but I had to inch closer to a lady standing beside me. I had no choice but to make room for the other passengers.
The bus continued and I was no closer to home than when my journey started 8 minutes ago. I felt your coat again, sliding up and down my lower back. I was too scared to turn around, so I moved my handbag and for a moment, you stopped.
A minute or two later, you pressed against me and I could feel your…
That night I felt violated on public transport.
That night I wanted to scream, ‘what the fuck are you doing?’ but I lost my voice.
That night my mind was pushing me to push my way through the others and get off at the next stop – but it was dark, and the rain was heavy, and I had no money to get another service.
That night you chose me.
That night you touched me, over and over again.
That moment, I couldn’t even cry, shout, speak, move, I was frozen.
