Boundaries at Work

This is my space, you are not welcome here

I won’t let you in, I say that without fear

This is where my boundary exists, like it or not

Trust me, to this issue I have given much thought

You have to respect my freedom, time and space

I should reciprocate too, so that when each other we face

There are healthy boundaries that we respect

To encroach upon them, we should not expect

If a situation makes you think you need to cross a line

Ask for my permission, the prerogative is mine

Whether to let you cross my boundary or not

I can decide when I want to compromise somewhat..

*

I make my boundaries clear, for both you and me

A relationship collegial is what I want to see

Violation of my boundaries is uncomfortable

Respect for mutual boundaries would lead to a partnership stable
