Feeling: Defiant
Your spine may straighten and your chest expand as energy gathers to resist control. This feeling may appear when autonomy or dignity feels threatened. Psychologists often view defiance as an adaptive impulse to preserve agency and self-direction.
Poem reflection

Anti-capitalism means // The rich can no longer // Control us with their laws.
This whole fucking zoo will burst like a // Molotov cocktail..."
