Every time I push a few boundaries
I wonder if I am doing it right
I don’t know to stand by it
That’s my absolute fright.
Standing alone doesn’t scare me,
I’ve been doing it a long time now
Still, when a soul is kind,
I take the liberty to share my mind.
That’s my scary bit
My overwhelm gives a fit
Now I’m aware of my flaw
I must learn to withdraw.
Listening never hurt anyone
It’s a way of choosing kind
Just respect thoughts and let them be
Sadness must be felt before it is healed.
When I learn to respect my boundaries
I learn to respect others boundaries better
That breaks a lot of expectations,
And brings the dear ones near.
We all have a journey together
Where we can stand by each other
Only when we learn to give due respect,
To the voices and the choices we make.
We need kindness and need to practice respect for others now, more than ever.
That is true, AM.
