CREATING NEW BOUNDARIES
From commitment hour, I am not true.
As others saw-I cannot do
As others-I cannot calm
My disappointments I cannot balm.
From the same upbringing, I do not hold.
My fulfillment-left untold
My satisfaction-left unchecked
To them, I’m a defect.
Then-in my life, new friends I meet.
My brokenness-they complete
My outcast-they include
My life; renewed.
To some groups, I am stained.
A relationship-strained
A loyalty-never formed
Always theatrics performed.
Yet out there are those who appreciate.
Caring for me-or my fate
Caring for me-they give me all
They invite, include, and call.
From this insight, I will no longer give.
My heart and time-to those who don’t forgive
My heart and time-to those who defame
And tarnish my name.
My time I’ll give to those who care.
Loving and kind-I’ll follow anywhere
Loving and kind-to them I’ll unite
Forming a friendship solid and tight.
