Yelling
Constant
Nagging
Irritating
Grinding
Loud

When you lose control and start yelling. 
Do you ever stop to ask yourself – why?
Is it about yourself? 
Is it about showing people who’s in charge? 
Is it about fueling your bad day?
Searching for kindling in every sock left unmatched?
And every speck undusted?
Or every minute late?

Is it about a pain?
Your pain?
Crying out to augment itself?
And grow to what should not be?

Where does it come from?
What is it for?
How does it help?
Where do you go with it?
When does it come?
Why did it start?

A mistake that worked
And become a habit?
An addiction?

It is not cultural
It is not inherited
Is it learnt?

Is loudness strength?
The opposite of weakness?
It loudness power?
The antithesis of inability?

Is it not possible
To rationalize and control
Your thoughts and your mind?
Your words and your deeds?

Or must others be encroached upon?
As your urge to control surges
Out of yourself
And thunders uninvited over others

Humiliating
Demeaning
Draining them
Helpless victims
Of your ego
Indisciplined
Unfettered
Unmastered
Juveniled
Negative
Drama

You must be right
All the time
And no one knows anything
And no one has a brain
And no one does anything right

You need to intimidate
You need to see fear
You need to feel fear
From those in your thrall
Feed off it

Make them respect you
Fear you
Obey you
Serve you
Makes you bigger
Makes you stronger

Marital problems
Sibling problems
Colleague problems
Employee problems
Street people problems

Viewed with pity
Viewed with shame
By bystanders
Un-enthralled

They do not accompany your voyage
You have no centre stage in their life
For they know
You need the fear of others
Because you are fear
“Fear of the future
Fear of the unknown
Fear of looking into your eyes and seeing you fall short of your self
Your expectations”

They know you are
Addicted to controlling
Enslaved by hate
Led to war
Mired down in sadness
Drowned in hopelessness

They hope
You can replace it
With something else
Turn it
Into something grand
Unhook it
Learn another pattern

Spirituality
Mysticism
Religion
Just plain awareness
Surrender
Of ego

See your mess
That has hitherto been invisible
To yourself
Burrowed within
Camouflaged
By self

Headon your fear
Of failure
Of loss
Loss of control

See
You are not what you thought you were
You are not perfect
You are human

Stop transferring
False sense of self
Fueled by ego
Onto others
To reflect falseness of you
Back to you

Witness
True reflection
From me
You are not perfect
You are human
Like I am
No better
No worse
Just the same

Sometimes
“Raised voices means raised expectations”
“Volumes reflect intensity”
“Not intimidation”
But never for you

So check it in
Can the yelling
The frustration
And narrow focus
Kill the anger
No longer victim
Owed or entitled

The tragedy would be
Never taking this path
Of self knowledge
Teaching others the habit
Showing them how to get a fix
Your mentees and  children
Creating rageful hateful souls
Bestest Yellers!

What Madam requires

https://www.vectorstock.com I work as a domestic for my Madam.  I look after Madam’s big family and her big house.  I tend to Madams big garden and her big cars.  For Madam – everything must be big.  She herself is big.  She is also big on ambition – both professionally and domestically.  Which is where I come in. Today I had a review with my Madam.  And she reminded me of her expectations and requirements regarding my performance.  Some requirements were new, some she was just recapping.  In my own words and in no particular order let me tell you what my Madam expects.    My Madam requires;  I am all-knowing.  I must know everything that happened during my watch - where the bumps on the children came from and where her yellow, blue and green scarf is.  She wore it yesterday and left it in the laundry basket. I am omnipotent - all powerful, invincible and able to do what is inhuman...

Of panty lines and such other

Truth be told, as one woman to another, your panty line cutting across your baytock is not a pleasant sight.   True story.   And no, I am not jealous.   Truly, I really do not care that you have a big bum.   And yes, my backside is minuscule, a peanut of a derriere.   I am not well endowed in my nether regions.   And still I am not jealous. Lets talk about us, the small haunched women.   As the world goes gaga over the well endowed grogan ciandas, we too have drooled [in an appreciation of God’s creation kind of way and not on a sexual orientation manner], coveted those mahagas.   We have each come to the realisations that, “my fundamentals is small ya?”   We have told ourselves that “not all good things come in big packages” and “small is good too”.   And with that admission has come acceptance and soon an appreciation for our pint sized rear    My bottom is small.   And to add injury to insult, it has a b...

Gal, before you get hitched....

Yeee!!   You are getting married.    Marriage is beautiful. You are in for a great ride!!  Exhilarating and thrilling.   Here is what I think you should know...... Marriage is an official arrangement.  That demands some bureaucratic process and hunting for certificates and signatures from various authorities.  Parking your backside on a man’s 4x6 bed and squeezing your underwear next to his in the bag hanging off the mobile wardrobe door is not a marriage. Even if you have four children.  And it does not matter what the constitution says.  Marriage happens when a man publicly stands up and says it has happened.  Until that day, you are just a woman he sexes, a woman who bears his children, but is not good enough to marry.   Before you marry, you know nothing about marriage.  You have watched marriages.  You have read about it.  You have gone for pre-mar...

I will write on my table

I am a creature of habits and routines.  Some good, some nasty, some neither here nor there – Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into.  Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. lukewarm, which I hear is reviled in some quarters.  One thing is, I do not often go into some spaces.  Like the food, fashion and furniture affair at the DusitD2 space – nice, with its with its Rouge Deck thing with a crimson pool, that I nearly took a tumble into.  Future wise words to self – wear flats on deck. Food was good.  The mushroom fritter like bites dipped in a ricotta and something and dip were divine.  I shamelessly munched on them in bunches of three.  I told the bites distributer to via me every 5 minutes.  Very obedient.  I stopped counting at their fourth stop.  Meanwhile, I was informed that the word divine is bougie bougie and to stop using it tout de suite.  I did.  Will never speak i...

Once upon a time you had a friend

Once upon a time you had a friend.   And you were good friends.   Then, like some good things, the friendship came to an end. There was no dramatic fallout between you.   No hurled insults and abuses.   No nothing like that.   Just a longer time to respond to a greeting, and an increasing number of missed calls.   And time.   Time happened in between you. Sometimes you think about things from the other side of the friendship.   And wonder if it was a deliberate decision to move on.   But then you reason, it doesn’t really matter why the friendship ended, what is important is the fact that, once it was there, and then it was not. Then months later, or maybe years later, your former good friend turns up, and attempts to slide back into your life with a ‘Hello Stranger! How have you been?” smiley kind of electronic message. And you are thinking, “Stranger?   Me?   You stopped engaging in calls, sms or emails. You c...
