ANOTIDA Jacob Mbereko, also known as AJ Tha Wildflower 🥀 (ajthawildflower929🥀), is an eighteen-year-old young man hailing from Chitungwiza. Known for his quiet demeanor, he spent his childhood moving from place to place, forming few connections outside his family.
In his early years, a friend encouraged him to express himself. Initially skeptical, he decided to give it a try. What started as a short paragraph blossomed into several, revealing a surprising depth of thought and emotion for someone so reserved.
Over time, poetry has become more than a mere hobby for AJ. It has evolved into a necessity, a means of staying true to himself each day. The words he leaves unspoken accumulate, threatening to consume him from the inside.
Thus, he turns to poetry as his outlet, a way to release the thoughts and feelings that otherwise remain trapped within. His journey underscores the transformative power of self-expression and the importance of finding one's voice. Poetry, for AJ, is not just an art form, but a lifeline.

AJ Tha Wild Flower🥀
The dirty little images
She plants inside my head
Really make it hard for me to pray.
Almost every second
When I'm away from you
I find myself existing in The Grey,
That place between reality and fantasy,
A place between heaven and earth.
It's a place where the air smells like you
So I know you're never far.
A place where I never feel lonely
Because you're always in my heart.
Time stands still
Except for the two of us.
An innocent sigh
Or a look from just the perfect angle
Could melt my heart
And give birth to the darkest of desires.
You lay your lips on mine
And I'm reminded that, darling, you are an angel
And Man was not created to experience euphoria such as this.
Words cannot express the effect your body has over me
But I try, regardless.
It's because I, too, want to understand how this chemistry works.
You kiss me,
And my blood boils,
Ready to take all of you.
Every atom aching for the taste of you.
It's more or less like physics,
The way I'm drawn to you.
Pulling me in close
But not close enough to claim all of you.
So I retreat to The Grey,
Where gravity is nonexistent
And we walk on water.
Where I can hold you
For the pure sake of holding you
Not out of the fear of what I would do to you
If I looked into your eyes,
If I looked at your body
And gave in to my own desires.
In The Grey,
Where nature doesn't have rules
And love doesn't have a limit.
Where kissing you in the street isn't insane
Because we're the only ones in it
And I can tell you I love you
And you don't need to say it back...
