Unnecessary

I try t o live in a peaceful manner. There was a time that I invited (subconsciously I hope) tumult and "drama" but for the most part I try to keep myself in my lane, without cutting off other drivers on this freeway of life. However there are times that I encounter people that are fanatical about people and or entertainers that will take it personally if you voice or in this case type your opinion. This makes me get all UNNECESSARY. I learned this term from a beautiful transsexual named Kim in NYC. She was accosted and attacked by a heterosexual couple fresh off the bus from New Jersey, she was perceived to be a freak because her voice did not match her face and body. She tried to walk away and repeatedly told them to leave her alone but they were relentless in their badgering, then it happened. THEY TOUCHED HER FACE. She calmly took off her heels, her earrings, pulled her weave into a ponytail and became a ninja, a green beret and La Femme Nikita. She started with the drunk girl. Two slaps and one punch to the head she went down. Her boyfriend joined in and Kim descended on him with a series of blows that most Ultimate Fighting Champions could only duplicate with years of intensive training. He went down, out cold. My friends and I tried to warn them to leave her alone but they were drunk, bigoted, and believed that a "fag" in a dress was an easy target. They were wrong.  So as Kim regained her ladylike stance, asked for her earrings and shoes back, she muttered very softly "They made get all UNNECESSARY". I asked what that meant. She replied "Honey sometimes when you get attacked and you try your best to avoid conflict someone will push you to the point of no return". There are few people that have pushed me to that point, albeit verbally, I have become UNNECESSARY. I am not proud nor ashamed of it. It is a state of being in which your brain is hyperactive and the verbal blows are what we kids call Legendary. They seem to flow out of me without my permission in a seamless barrage of bullets that are not only hurtful but in some cases scarring. So if you think you can come for me, think again, you do not want me to get UNNECESSARY.
