Just Another Woman: female rage :3

“Honestly, she had better come around, but it isn’t her fault. She isn’t emotionally stable.”

After everything, this is what you told them.

You have known me for 2 years. 

You, of all people, 

should know that I will not stand by 

and let you treat me like this.

But when I called to ask why you were treating me this way,

You hung up on me as I spoke.

And left a message;  

“You made your point.”

Was I talking too much for you?

Too much for a woman?

“Women should be seen and not heard.”

You always said it was a joke.

We have grown from children to adults together.

Or, at least I thought we had.

You know me like no one else…

Or, at least I thought you did.

I know you like no one else, you said it yourself.

I thought you were right, I was so sure, but I was wrong.

I have no idea who I’ve been calling my best friend.

But

Because you are a man… correction…a boy,

And because I am a woman, 

A strong woman,

A fearless woman, 

A woman who will not make herself smaller so that you can feel bigger,

A woman who knows what she deserves,

And how she should be treated,

A woman who has the self-respect to walk away and demand more,

I am crazy.

I am belligerent.

I am unforgiving.

I am hotheaded.

I am mean.

I am careless.

I am selfish.

I am unstable.

So here is my formal apology to you: 

From every time I looked for you first in a room full of all my favorite people, From the times I screamed from the rooftops that you were my person,  

From the past two years of knowing you,

I am so, incredibly sorry,

That I ever called you my best friend.

Love, 

Another Unstable Woman.
