Power And Boundaries
There is power,
When you respect her boundaries,
It doesn't make you weak,
It doesn't imply that you cannot control her,
It implies that you can control your heart and mind,
And that's powerful.
When she sets a boundary,
Draws a line she is sure not to cross herself,
And has made it clear to you,
You don't have to knock on that boundary,
To see if the wall she's building is strong enough,
If it'll break when you cajole her,
Because then,
Two things can happen:
She let's you trespass it,
Cross it once,
Maybe many more times,
But each time she does that,
She dislikes you a little more than last time,
For you haven't realized,
She doesn't like what you're doing,
But she still let's you,
Or she thinks she might lose you,
So, in order to protect what little relationship you have with her,
She keeps losing parts of herself,
Hating herself a little more,
For she couldn't stop him from crossing that boundary when it happened the first time,
And now, it's too late.
But, it's never too late.
Set that boundary up again,
And don't knock it down ever.
And once she learns how to do that,
She becomes unstoppable,
In every possible way.
She doesn't let you trespass it,
Not a single foot on the line,
Instead, she keeps building the wall stronger,
With you outside of it,
Then, you can never have the power,
Because she has taken it all from you,
She is not a player,
Because she doesn't play the game.
So, you don't become powerless,
When she says no,
Because there's power,
To reign back,
To understand,
To respect,
To honour,
The woman and her boundaries.
And they're never because of constraint or helplessness,
They're there because you did something,
For her to set these boundaries in the first place,
By not making her feel loved, respected and cared for,
In the way she deserves and more,
And she may not be high maintenance,
But she has high morals,
And there's power when she sees someone with equally high morals,
Who matches her vibe,
And there's power in that.
So much power.
