Boundaries and Beyond : The Power Within
You have the right to set boundaries, my friend,
To draw a line and say, "This far and no more."
To seek what brings you joy and peace of mind,
And take responsibility for your own path.
If something makes you uncomfortable, do not fear;
You have the right to say no, and keep yourself clear.
It's crucial to know you're entitled to an opinion,
And express it, while also being kind and respectful.
You're not bound to follow someone else's vision,
For you are the owner of your own destiny, so thoughtful.
Your life is yours to live, with all its twists and turns,
And only you can choose the route that your heart yearns.
In this world, there are those who try to push you down,
To make you conform to their beliefs, and wear a frown.
But remember, you are free to choose your own way,
And nobody has the right to tell you what to say or play.
Your thoughts, feelings, and desires are yours alone,
And only you can decide what seeds are sown.
It's okay to walk away from those who don't respect,
Your boundaries and opinions, and try to deflect.
Your happiness and well-being must always come first,
For in life, you are the one who must quench your thirst.
So, hold your head up high, and stand tall and strong,
And let no one else determine where you belong.
You may encounter those who do not understand,
And try to force you to follow their command.
But do not let their ignorance shake your resolve,
For you have the power to evolve.
With confidence, keep moving forward in your life,
And create the future that you will fully thrive.
Remember, that always it’s you;
The architect of your own destiny, full of grit.
So, set your boundaries, and don't be afraid to say no,
And know that your own path is the way to go.
You have the power to shape your life and your fate,
And create a future that's truly great.
But be careful not to close yourself off completely,
From experiences that may challenge and change thee.
For growth comes from facing new and daunting tasks,
And stepping out of one's comfort zone without a mask.
It's okay to take risks and make mistakes,
For they can lead to new paths and unforeseen breaks.
So, stand firm in your beliefs, but be open to the new,
And never forget that the power lies within you.
Your thoughts and opinions are yours to defend,
But always be willing to listen and comprehend.
For true wisdom comes from a willingness to learn,
And a recognition that every person has something to earn.
In the end, it's your life and your story to write,
And only you can truly determine what's right.
But remember that you're never truly alone,
And there are those who will support you through the unknown.
So, hold onto your power and embrace your own voice,
And know that you have the strength to make the best choice.
You have the right to set boundaries, my dear,
To find joy and comfort without any fear.
To say no when needed, and to always speak your mind,
To be the owner of your own fate, and not fall behind.
So, go forth and live your life with purpose and zeal,
For the world is your canvas, and your destiny is yours to seal.
As you move forward in life, keep in mind,
That the journey may not always be smooth or kind.
There will be moments of struggle and strife,
And times when you question the purpose of life.
But remember, you have the strength to overcome,
And with perseverance, you can rise above.
Hold fast to your beliefs and your core,
And never forget what you are fighting for.
Your boundaries are there to protect your soul,
And help you achieve your ultimate goal.
Take responsibility for your own path,
And chart your course with determination and wrath.
It's important to remember that you are not alone,
And there are others who have carved out their own throne.
Seek out those who share your passions and dreams,
And build a support system that's stronger than it seems.
Together you can overcome any obstacle in sight,
And make the world a better place with all your might.
In conclusion, my dear friend, always remember,
That you have the right to set your own agenda.
To say no, to disagree, and to set your own pace,
To live your life with purpose and grace.
So go forth and claim your rightful place in the sun,
And remember that your journey has only just begun.
