Boundaries
This is mine and that is yours
I will not take it on
regardless of the games you play
or acts you act upon.
Here's my line and that is yours
let's notice whose are whose.
I will not venture from my own,
nor aim to 'win' or 'lose'.
I filled my moats with honesty
and values of my choice.
I chose my words with candour
giving my hearts meaning voice.
I won't let you control me
or encroach upon my space.
I will defend respectfully
if you invade my place.
But if I let my draw bridge down
that's different altogether.
It means I think you're worthy
to observe me without tether
but still know I'm the gate keeper
I hold the golden key
and whether you can stay here
is entirely up to me.

Nat,
Pure (rhymed) clarity...like breath of fresh air
