Talking Prose

By BellaDonna

Why do people always expect you to speak?
Assume you aren't ok because you have nothing to say?
Why arn't you comfortable with my silence?
Does honesty make you nervouse?
There must be something wrong with you.
Maybe I just don't want to talk to you...
Maybe I think your inferior...
Maybe your irritating... boring...everything you say is stupid... I'm just a bitch anyway... why do I always have to look at you like I know something you don't...

Because I do, I can get inside your head before you say a word, so why should I? There's nothing there to find. And You are boring and irritating and worst of all stupid...but I should want to have a pleasant little chat with you about nothing except that you're racking your tiny shut down mundane starbuck's hardwired empty brain for something to say for the sake of courtesy you're badly faking because that's how you've been trained. Fuck you there I said something Here's something else...
Go Away! Leave me Alone! You're a waste of my Time and my Energy! I don't like being nice It's so much more fun to twist you up, give you a real good mind fuck...Can I make you cry? Scream? Fall on the floor? Break things? Hit me?
Or can I be silent?
We can talk if you still want to...You still want to talk don't you? And we can go out for coffee when it's over ... and just talk...

    I love this. You wrote what goes through my head, although much better worded, when some idiot says "It's a nice day today." I just want to rip their throat out and make myself a new sex toy.

    "Why are you so petrified of silence?" Quoting Alanis M. :) I like this, I find it irritating when people must have every moment filled with sound...mindless chatter if need be. I still agree with the "silence is golden"
