"Comatose.""Comatose.""Comatose."
Beep. Beep. The surreal humming of a thing I have yet to name has been awake since I could rememeber. It's so warm here. I'm not quite sure where I am, but there might be a chance I'm in heaven. When it's this quiet, it's alomst as though the whole world decided to listen instead of yell, and the birds have taken this opportunity to sing. And what a beautiful song it is. How long have I been awake? I'm not tired. I just hope this never ends. This could be my eternity, and God can just wait until I'm finished.
Beep. Beep. He's been like that for 3 weeks now. I'm sure he'll be fine. He's so cold thoug


"Taxi.""Taxi.""Taxi."
Nights like these where the demons dance to an endless tune that seem to be muted by the sun makes life a little more interesting. As the lights that line our path of mistaken identity guide me away from one tragic scene to the next, lost souls wave to me, wishing to be taken to a better place.
But tonight, I want to be alone. They can just wait until I'm done feeling good.
Lost rose buds whose wares are that of expensive taste make tempting motion to intice the bees whose stingers are of dull emotion. Cubs lost in an endless hibernation where the caves stink of refuse lie in pretending death, making sure Go


"Letter.""Letter.""Letter."
Dear Someone, I'm going to fly with the angels tonight. I'm sick of staying stuck on the ground. Gravity will be my prison no more. Tonight, my wings will spread. My halo will glow and be as bright as the bruises on my body. I will be one with the stars. They will sing to me the joys of being free, and I will live them. I'll be part of the song. I'll be one with the universe. Tonight. This is not a suicide note. Even though you will find my body, bleeding, without breath, eyes dull and unshinning, I will be more alive than you can think of. No more will you inflict any pain on me. No more will your screams peirce
how dare you insult feminists?
"just because you have a vagina that doesn't give you special rights"
just because you have a fucking penis, that doesn't mean that you're entitled to anything that every woman on earth does to please men. you don't deserve SHIT.
you don't fucking deserve a hot/beautiful woman... you get one because women TRY to be, for YOU... if it weren't for that you'd have to screw the ugliest thing you've ever seen.
and feminist women don't fucking protest because they get paid less. they protest because when men say shit about women being inferior, they are insulting THEM. personally.
when a sexist guy in my class says women are stupider than men, i take that personally. because he's talking about me. that's an insult.
so stop being all righteous and anti-woman. you're saying we don't deserve special treatment and things. well fuck you. we don't want special treatment. we want EQUAL treatmant.
EQUAL RIGHTS ARE NOT SPECIAL RIGHTS. you asshole.

Let me tell you something that might bring to light much of your ignorance:
You are not special. No one is. You want respect? Earn it.
"and feminist women don't fucking protest because they get paid less. they protest because when men say shit about women being inferior, they are insulting THEM. personally."
Wow, where have you been? This has been going on since the beginning of time. Nothing new. Since the dawn of history it's been seen that women are inferior to men. I don't agree with this, but the ideology is there. Women have always been insulted, and so have men. I can't remember how many times I've heard girls tell guys "You just think with your dick!" Wait a sec, you're insulting me! That means I need to hold picket signs and tell women that I'm not like that!
Please, get real.
And you are getting equal treatment. Please share with me a situation that has clearly shown that you're not getting the same rights as men.
As a matter of fact, I hold this truth to be self-evident, that women more often than not have even more power than men. If I had a dollar for everytime a man has been wrongly accused of rape because some jealous girlfriend wanted revenge, I'd own you and still have change to buy a country. See, you don't see the whole picture, just a pixel.

Nope! Oh damn, guess you don't know what it feels like, then do you?
Women do say things about men- you're right. But the things that men get for being men are NO WHERE near what women get for being women.
There's a reason why SO many more women have depression than men. There's a reason why SO many more women aquire anorexia or go on some grotesque, insane diet than men do. There's a reason why the media targets girls and women between the ages of 11-25 first and foremost before any group of people. Because from generation from generation, from hundreds of years ago, we've been told to sit down, look pretty, and shut up.
Recently, we haven't been- and you're right. You make excellent points. We have the same RIGHTS as men- but we're not treated the same as men. Perhaps the unwritten laws. When's the last time you saw a music video with one fully-clothed "pimpin'" girl, sitting in the center of a circle of nearly-naked men, shaknig their asses and degrading themselves? When's the last time you sat in a class and some girl said "Notice how it's ALL the MEN getting the questions wrong?"
What if these things were said about blacks? What if, instead of women, people targeted blacks? "Notice how it's ALL the BLACK people." ... "Black people are inferior to white people." Sound familiar? it does. If you said that to a black person, your ass would be kicked. But when you say it to a group of women, nothing happens mysteriously.
Our rights are not violated. Our general respect as people is violated. Men get that respect without having to do anything. Why??

How old are you? 12? 14? Old enough to understand anything that really goes on in life? You still haven't provided a legitament reason or example of how women are not given the same rights as men. You make no point whatsoever except stating the obvious, and you sound as if someone stole your toys.
Let's begin with this:
"There's a reason why SO many more women have depression than men."
Would you like to know why more women have depression than men? Because the media is promoting this image that every woman should be 5'3", 110 lbs., and beautiful. It's been proven. It's been beaten down over and over with statistics. It's not because of this sudden oppresion that men have caused. It's because women want to be beautiful, and when they can't acheive that image that the media has promoted more than the importance of breathing, that's where the depression sets in. Men are not to blame for this. Blame People, Cosmopolitan, etc. And guess who's the main journalists for those publications? Women.
Next up:
" When's the last time you saw a music video with one fully-clothed "pimpin'" girl, sitting in the center of a circle of nearly-naked men, shaknig their asses and degrading themselves?"
I don't know about you, but if I was the head of a music company and an artist wants to make millions this way, I can assure them that they would make more flipping burgers.
Let's face it. If a "pimpin" girl was to do that, it wouldn't sell. Face it. It could be done. No one is stopping her. But I doubt the majority of consumers would find it something worth their while. Maybe YOU would, but not everyone else.
And finaly:
"What if these things were said about blacks? What if, instead of women, people targeted blacks? "Notice how it's ALL the BLACK people." ... "Black people are inferior to white people." Sound familiar? it does. If you said that to a black person, your ass would be kicked. But when you say it to a group of women, nothing happens mysteriously."
And you blame men for this? Black people do something because they want to. Femenists don't because they don't want to. No one is to blame but yourself.
Oh, and there's plenty of women recognized for their achievements. You're just so damn narrow-minded to notice.

And I'm 15 years old. I know more about life than it may appear- the only thing I have EVER raised a debate about is the treatment of women and the treatment of people of other cultures. And when I read your reply about women, I said something about it.
You may assume that because I'm 15 years old, I'm a stupid little teenage girl that "lost her toys", but I'm SO much more than that and you're too overtaken by anger to recognize that.
I KNOW I was wrong to say all of those things to you- I overreacted and I was a complete and utter bitch to you and I apologize for that. I take any kind of insult towards women very seriously because I AM a woman. And I, unlike most stupid women in our world, actually stand up for myself. But when I do stand up for myself, everyone just says I speak out too much and I'm obnoxious and a stupid little girl. Well, think what you want, but I won't take that. I'm not stupid. I'm not a typical "little girl". I say what I think, and sometimes, mistakenly, I overdo it. I apologize.
You make a good point about the media. But you must remember that there is a REASON why women want to be beautiful. It certainly isn't to look sexy for other women- it's to look good for men. The vicious cycle of showing women pictures of beautiful, flawless women- and men, obviously, drooling over and loving the way those women look- made women want to look that amazing for men. It's NOT solely men's fault- but you must take into consideration the number of men that women constantly hear saying- "that bitch is UGLY"... "SHE IS SO UGLY!" .. "she is so fat!!"... Maybe you don't hear so much of that from men, because you're older and you probably hang out with a more mature crowd- but I honestly hear this at least a few times a day, from guys. And I mean that. Because I'm in highschool, and surrounded by a bunch of oblivious, hormonal little obnoxious teenagers.
And how DARE you say that I'm narrow minded. Do you know me? Do you know my interests? Did you know that I'm interested in psychology and evolutionary science, and I'm interested in the Muslim faith? Do you know me at all, do you know how I think? You don't.
You just call me narrow-minded because I opposed what you said.
Yes, I protested what you said because it offended me. Just like you replied, and protested to what I said, because I offended YOU. We're not all that different. I apologize for being so mean in the beginning, but I take insults towards women VERY offensively because SO many people forget that when you criticize women in general, you're criticizing every woman. When someone says, "women should just stay home and clean!!" (and yes, that HAS been said to me by a very sexist person in my global history class), I take it offensively because he wasn't just saying it in general- he was saying that I should just stay home and clean, too. Because I'm a woman. I take opression VERY seriously. I realize that women have equal rights as men do. I realize that women are recognized every single day for their achievements. I'm not saying that women are treated like shit.
All I'm saying that there is still a lack of respect for them- and it's so socially acceptable that people don't even notice anymore. They just let it pass. ESPECIALLY young women, and women in general, in our generation. Maybe it pisses people off when some woman actually DOES stand up for herself a little bit every once in awhile. Well, normally I like to be reasonable with topics of controversy- but with this one, I will not. Because it's PERSONAL.

The paper, the pen, your eyes
To stare into what's next
It frightens me
