Boundaries
You don’t get hurt
because you care too much.
You get hurt because you have no boundaries.
You overgive
You say yes when you want to say no.
You tolerate too much
You accept behavior that drains you.
You feel resentful
You give, but feel unseen.
This is not kindness.
This is lack of boundaries.
You are not being loving.
You are being available.
Boundaries are not control
They are clarity.
Boundaries are not rejection
They are self-respect.
Boundaries are not distance
They are direction.
Boundaries start with control.
If you cannot control yourself,
you cannot hold boundaries.
