i’ll wait like a dog for you

crawling at your feet

begging for scraps from the dinner table

but i’m happier here

because you told me i should be

looking up at you from my shallow grave

my body grows cold as i wait for the next time you’ll want me

you’re the one who haunts me at night

watching as i call your name when i cum

Warning ⚠️ 🖤❤️🐾

I need you like Earth need the Sun. Without you, there would be no life. You warm me like no other. For me, you are my star, the one who keeps me alive and going. Thank you for existing.

MEN ARE LETTING DOWN WOMEN

Men are easily disposable,

Women are indisposable,

During a crisis, a war, or a violent uprisal, the tyrannical opponent targets the man because men are easily disposable.

That is why it is easier for a despot to shoot and kill a man in cold blood and behave ignorant and unremorseful.

But women are indisposable, and for this reason, they easily become the engine of any uprisal.

It is difficult to contain a protest where women are at the forefront providing a buffer for men to escalate the combat.

Women are the most vocal and the most animated.

They stoke the fire, escalate the push , and accelerate the combat.

Why is this so?

Because women want men to step up and fight for them.

Because women want a life where their offspring can easily access food and other essential resources.

Because women have the daunting role of nurturing offspring into the next generation.

Therefore , they are the first to raise the alarm, and thereby, men have to come out of their armoury and attack the villain.

Women feed the warriors. They nurse the injured. They covertly collect intelligence information from the opponent.

They even choose to sleep with the enemy.

This is to ensure their men rise up and advance with the combat.

History has all this written in our Afrikan books of literature.

From The Abushiri revolt to the Chimurenga war to the Maji Maji rebellion to the Mau Mau revolt to the Dahomey revolution.

This is how nature made it.

When thieves raid a village, it is women who have been gifted with the role of alerting the men using their high-pitched screams.

However, in a society where men are effeminate, and women are becoming masculine, such combat will suffer fatigue in the early phase of escalation.

Women will get tired because men will have lost the drive to push forward.

— and effeminate men will betray the combat, they will be traitors and betrayers of the combat, this is why in ancient times, when a warrior was captured by the opponent, he was deported, excommunicated or terminated.

Because once captured, he will throw the combat under the bus, and the entire dream will fizzle. To be rekindled again by another generation of agitated women.

Therefore, men must rise up, and we must continue fixing our frames and mindsets. We must resist any attempts by the enemy to enrol us in the Roman circus to numb the fire in our bellies.

Resist any attempts to corrupt your character for thirty pieces of silver.

This corruption will leave an ugly indelible mark in your soul that will devour you forever.

Therefore, men, before you lose hope, remember why your woman raised the alarm.

Don't bury her voice in your digestive organs.

“To the Warriors of Invisible Battles”

They will never know—

the weight you carry

in a body that feels like a fragile house

with storms at every window.

Yet here you are,

standing in the ruin,

patching what you can,

finding beauty in cracks

only you can see.

Your pain does not speak for you,

though it roars in silence.

It does not define you,

though it shadows your steps.

What defines you is this:

The way you rise when no one is watching.

The way you find a smile

in the rubble of the hardest days.

The way your heart holds love

when your body holds ache.

Some days, survival is a whisper.

Some days, it’s a battle cry.

And both are triumphs.

You are not weak because you rest.

You are not broken because you hurt.

You are a masterpiece in progress,

proof that the soul

is stronger than any pain.

So when the world feels too heavy,

when the night stretches endless,

remember this:

You are not alone in this fight.

And even now,

you are winning.

“My pulse thundered in my ears.”

14. Displacement of Anger

Storming off abruptly or slamming doors

Snapping at someone unrelated to the cause of anger

15. Temperature Descriptions (metaphors/sensations)

Feeling fire “lick” at their insides or their temper “ignite”

16. Instinctive Responses

The ominous quiet just before they explode

18. Physical Sensations

Muscles twitching or vibrating under the skin

Heart pounding visibly at their throat or chest

A bitter taste in their mouth or nausea from anger

19. Reactive Behaviors

Interrupting others to correct or attack

Dismissing concerns with a quick wave of the hand

Throwing out ultimatums like “Don’t push me!”

20. Lingering Aftermath

Hands trembling after the initial outburst

A headache, buzzing ears, or lingering tension

Regret or shame slowly replacing the heat of the anger

These signs can be layered together to create realistic and powerful depictions of anger, whether it’s smoldering beneath the surface or erupting violently.
