Feminist,not sexist.(but not in reality)

“She’s not who she says she is.”

The woman smiles. “Yes,you are right. She is even worse.”

The man behind her raises his eyebrows. “How so? She is just an ungrateful girl that don’t appreciate anything!”

“What is there to appreciate? How men like you are following us on streets? How they didn’t and still don’t let women and girls to access normal things like healthcare or to be in school?...

Beware the Thorns

I had never felt comfortable around Anna. Something about her just seemed—off. Now that she and my father had returned from their honeymoon, they were officially married. They pushed me to accept her as my new mother, but I still refused to call her anything but Anna. I found it odd that even though they were married, Anna still slept separately—in her own room—which was always locked. When I sugg...

Substitute

It was really odd hearing that Mr. Carter would be out for the rest of the semester, he had never so much as taken time off during the school year in all the years that I have known him. He seemed fine just last week and now we are hearing this? Something seemed fishy. And typically, when someone is out on such short notice, we have to scramble to cover their classes until we can get a sub in, ...

Teacher From Hell

GREETING EVERYONE


As usual it is a pleasure to see everyone’s smiling faces today. Today we will be going a bit of a different route with our class today, but before we begin might would like to introduce everyone to my new assistant Lilith Corson and she will be here from here and on out but now I will allow her to introduce herself.

Hello everyone my name is ms.Corson and I will be your classe...

The Wanderer

When she comes to you crying,

Be there for her, but don’t believe her.

She’s not who she says she is.

Her heart will scream out,

That she is nothing.

She will call herself worthless,

Throwing herself on the ground in a daze.

Do not listen to her claims,

She is lost behind the veil of self hatred.

When she looks in the mirror

She sees a puke green monster

With thick bile dripping from its lips.

Whe...

He’s Not Who He Says He Is.

Ive never been the best at turning up to work on time, always showing up five minutes late or two or twenty but it depended on the day.

Everyday I show up to work my manager, Darl Beau Carlson, always talks to me about how I need to get better at it. But Darl is perfect, and when I say perfect I mean *perfect.*

He’s always had it ‘better’ in life and I feel like he just doesn’t understand...

She Has Done This All Before

Maxine the ever curious girl, always following people, looking at the forests, and drawing her imagination.


Oh dear Maxine what have you become?


That’s all that ran through my head as I looked at the bloody hammer, and watched as she touched around the brains of our old neighbor. Why would my baby girl do this?


The rest of the night was a blur. The pigs ate well, and I cleaned my baby girl. It ...

No longer Her

The rain pattered against the cabin windows, streaking down the glass like fingers clawing to get inside. Amelia’s hands gripped the edge of the kitchen counter, nails digging into the worn wood as the voice echoed in her head.


_She’s not who she says she is._


It was absurd. Claire had been her best friend since college since late-night study sessions and cheap wine in dorm rooms. They’d seen ea...

L’ombre

"Elle n'est pas celle qu'elle prĂ©tend ĂȘtre."


La voix de Rose n'Ă©tait qu'un murmure.

"C'est une dame pas gentille... Elle dit qu'elle est notre grand-mĂšre."


Sophie se figea.


"Ah bon ?" demanda-t-elle, incertaine.


Encore une histoire de fantĂŽme. Sa fille de cinq ans en parlait souvent, mais jamais elle n'aurait imaginĂ© ressentir, mĂȘme un instant, que quelque chose clochait vraiment.

Makeup

I do not look cheap

I am the most expensive thing you can buy to eat

I dont need to wipe off my makeup

To fit your image


I am not the little girl I once was

I have grown up

I look different now

Its ok to accept it


My life has changed

In more ways than one

For the good and the bad

Just please dont be sad


I put on the makeup

Dont judge me please

It makes me feel pretty

So refrain from the tease
