And now you have the nerve to want respect.
Silly rabbit people-hopping
gratifying for a moment
and now you seek autonomy.
Life of the party
most intoxicated in the room
and now you want to talk about sobriety.
Your whole life story told in breadcrumbs
on the internet –
You think you deserve respect?
Angry posts towards your lineage – shameful
and now that you’re doing better you want
understanding?
Your boundaries are shit
and now you find yourself in a situation
but due to the healthy boundaries placed by others
you’re on your own with this one.
Silly stubborn simple-minded rabbit –
hop along.
Love Should Have Healthy Boundaries
It took me years of internal growth to realize that healthy boundaries are okay. Not only okay, but they keep interpersonal relationships healthy.
