Boundaries Death

Concept:

We grow as strong as we are able.

We thicken our edges

to protect us

from trespassers,

to guard our epitome.  

But we do this,

also,

to minimize the degree

of affliction to be endured. 

To build these boundaries

might be helpful

but not if we build them as walls. 

Them-and-us need to be permeable. 

There will be light,

pure,

and positive souls

floating around us

and a wall will impede

the possibility of them entering us.

Also, 

all the toxicity 

that one accumulates

won’t have a way out. 

 Then, 

 it will take a breakdown,

 a breathtaking wrecking moment of

 punching holes through those walls

 to enable it to come out. 

 Or, more rarely, 

 an immensely glowing and convincing soul.

Don’t create walls,

arm your skin. 

Be permeable,

without losing your limits.
