Boundariesβ¦
Are they the lines we see on paper?
Or are they the border lines of anything human-made?
Are they the barbed wire hanging on wooden posts, marking one area from another?
Or, are they the place we mark with marks made with our shoes on our feet?

Boundariesβ¦
Are they those lines we draw by our mouths, in our heads and thoughts and also, on paper in writing?
Are they those invisible points in life that we say we wonβt cross, no matter what?
Are they those places in our life, where we feel safe?
Arenβt they the only βspacesβ where we feel we can do what we want and not feel guilty about what weβve done?

Boundariesβ¦.
Arenβt they the places that weβve been told not to cross, strictly?
Arenβt they the areas weβve been told we can easily be βseenβ from?
Arenβt they the zones that particular people βownβ?

Who gets to determine what you are?
Who decides who goes how far into you and not?
Who sits down to say that you be and not?

Boundariesβ¦
Am I really safe within you?
Is it okay if I donβt call you the name everyone calls you?
Would it be fine if I just got to touch you, for a bit and feel the human in you?

Lovely poem! Setting boundaries can be a beautiful form of self-care. But boundaries that keep us from the places and people we love can be such hard! I felt that when I read your piece.

Did you make all the poems here in the post?
Actually it says a lot. But I believe that soon there will be less or even no boundaries in the world.
