Boundaries

Boundaries look like limits

But they set me free

They help me to know

What is and is not me

In a world that all too often

Just wants to throw

Its shackles

All around my soul

Boundaries say

These feelings want and needs

I carry deep within

Are valuable sacred things

This space is mine

And through boundaries

I can honour the same in another

The gift of boundaries

Is they allow us both to be free

For without true freedom

Is all that others say is love

Truly love?
