Boundaries…
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?

Boundaries…
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 won’t cross, no matter what?
Are they those places in our life, where we feel safe?
Aren’t they the only “spaces” where we feel we can do what we want and not feel guilty about what we’ve done?

Boundaries….
Aren’t they the places that we’ve been told not to cross, strictly?
Aren’t they the areas we’ve been told we can easily be “seen” from?
Aren’t they the zones that particular people “own”?

Boundaries…
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?

Boundaries…
Am I really safe within you?
Is it okay if I don’t 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.

Actually it says a lot. But I believe that soon there will be less or even no boundaries in the world.
