The Borders of My Life (For OSI)

The Borders of My Life
Are Positive In Some Respect
The Provide Me With A Structure
Allow Me To Know What To Expect

The Borders of My Life
Can Be Negative I Know
They Fence Me In Inside Myself
Not Allowing Me To Grow

The Borders of My Life
I Must Choose Which To Allow
Knowing Those To Follow
The Others To Disavow

    So true. Which do we penetrate, which do we accept?

    Some of those constraints are self-imposed, and can be let go of.

    A daily struggle for many. It can be safe in there. I saw the word border in the same way.

    Your borders remind me a little of the laws we have. Some tell us what to do, others what not. But most laws we must follow, we cannot choose.

    So true Lisa- I don't like the negative ones- but they are there, aren't they? At least we can recognize them! Nice job!
