A Dormant Volcano 🗻

A sudden light flashed across the sky, illuminating the already dark  purple sky. It is accompanied by the sound of rumbling thunder echoing in the otherwise silent night. There is a slight rustle of leaves, a couple of pitter-patter of the raindrops, that's about it.
Besides the couple of raindrops already trailing down the window, I doubt it would pour.

I sat on the floor, next to the windows. Curtains drawn. 
Pressing my face against the glass as I gaze outside, feeling the coldness against my skin. 
A comforting coldness numbing the boiling fire within.

The weather is really trying to help me isn't it? It matches my mood.

A thunder storm is brewing, yet it doesn't rain.
A fire of fury and hatred is ignited, but there isn't any waterworks to extinguished it.
Save the few tears shed, doubt it will help.

Hate is a strong word.

I hardly use it, I would usually say I dislike this and that, but seldom hate.
But I'm frustrated, angry and upset.
All the pent up emotions are forming a boiling pit of lava, waiting to erupt from a long dormant volcano. 

It is bound to happen sooner or later,  me losing my cool and getting angry.
It's just a matter of time before one of us snaps.
But maybe it is just me.

女儿和女佣,虽然这两个字有个女字在前面,但是意思是非不同。
你不能随意把女儿当成你的女佣来看待。
女佣可以不喜欢她的雇主, 因为她能还雇主,再也见不到他。
但女儿不可以不认她的爸爸,只能默默地讨厌他,忍着

Sorry, I just had to type in Chinese to get my message across, but here's the translation.
(A daughter and a helper, although both are females, but their meanings are really different.
You can't just treat your daughter as a maid.
A maid can dislike her employer, because she can change him, and not meet him again.
But a daughter can't disown her father, just quietly dislike and tolerate.)

I hate it that you are so stubborn and oblivious.
I hate it that you are a stereotypical old male, always waiting to be serve.
I hate it that you treat us like this.

I wanna scream and lash out at all the injustice.
We are women, not servants.
Stop throwing your man attitude at us.

But I cannot do anything about it. For now.

The dormant volcano was on the verge of erupting.
But the bubbling magma needs to be swallowed back down to the ever fiery pit. 

But keep in mind, this dormant volcano will never go extinct.
