Feeling: Angry
Heat might rise in your chest or face, your jaw may tighten, and you may feel energy building to act. Anger often appears when you perceive an obstacle to something deeply important or when a boundary feels crossed. Biologists often view anger as an evolved signal to mobilize energy toward defending fairness or protection.
Poem reflection
“Spray down the perimeter
with wolf piss
to keep the deer away.”
No, but I can
certainly relate
on an emotional level.
