I’ve been doing a little thinking about boundary setting lately…
What is your perspective?

Interesting
how I am always trying
to take care of you
how I strain and sweat
to make sure you are ok
to make sure you are happy
to make sure your feelings aren’t
hurt
regardless of how
I am feeling
But that’s not my job
it’s not up to me
to take care of you
You are grown
You are an adult
You can make your own decisions
You can make your own choices
You can handle
your own consequences
I don’t need to be involved
I don’t need to monitor
I don’t need to
make sure
everything is ok
Yet I do.

Why am I always
so focused on me?
focused on how I feel
or how you don’t
notice
When was the last time
I asked about you?
Why am I sitting
in a deep hole
a pit
of myself
It’s dark in here
I am alone
focused on myself
on me me me
It’s time to bring in some light
and all I need to do
is ask about you
