I am
Working
On my
Boundaries

It is difficult
But not impossible
It is doable
They are not unstoppable
Those who want to cross my lines
And break my borders
Those who cut corners
To love me
So they can have me
Whatever why they want

Well guess what

I'm not 16 anymore
I am an adult
You cannot take my life away
Like you could
Before I was grown

I do not have to worry that
I will be grounded
Mistreated
Or dragged to church
And learn from a religion I do not believe in
And looked as though it is treason
For me to exist

I won't have to wear this
Old costume for you
Be the superhero
You wanted me to
I will not longer put on that show for you
Glow for you
I will from from you

And all the things you can say
Or do
Can't hurt me
As much as it hurts you
When I say

No

When I say

I don't want to go

And you say why

And I say

I do not have to explain myself

I can work on my health
In my time
And I will be just fine
Not hearing
the adult toddlers wine
When they don't get their way

It's gunna be a good day

Because I say so
And I am careful to I give my good vibes to
And who I whine to
And who I trust
I will not fight in this war again

I don't need it

I will find that old costume and burn it
Take those swords
Melt them down
And turn them into jewelry
For friends
Put my energy
Into time I want to spend
Doing what I love

I'll be ok

I will be alright

I am safe

I love me

I don't need them

Or
