draw the line just don’t make it straight, leave a little room for give and take, but if you don’t establish boundaries then when you need them, it’s too late………… so if certain things are unacceptable to you and you don’t reiterate them, then the fault lies with you

people will take until you say no, forlorn and rejected they turn the blame on you and if you accept it then that’s your fault, because they will test you to see, if you can walk the walk

i can’t expect you to look after me, that’s a job i have to do and it’s important to participate, give what’s been given and share from your plate

but keep your hands out of my pocket, you ask and i will see if it passes the test, am i being conned or are you someone i can help

someone in needs asks out of desperation, not out of expectation

that’s where i draw the line
