Boundaries

Boundaries are often difficult.  Where does one draw the line, raise the bar, build the wall?  There do seem to be some rules, but it*s so rarely all or nothing.  It seems it would be easier if it were.  Teaching and learning nuance... that*s hard.  That*s why there are treatment plans to consider boundaries at the halfway house.

Treatment plans at the halfway house

Include boundaries:

Thick and thin

High and low

Permeable but still protective,

Bandaids

That still allow one*s skin

To breathe.

Setting

Making

Keeping

Boundaries

Knowing where the lines

Are to be drawn,

Bandaids applied;

Skin still

In the game:

Protected

And

Visible.
