Schoolyard Games
Melissa Klock 1075 (United States)
My Boundaries are not your playgrounds to be played on.
Do not think you can keep pushing them with no detention.
Teeter Totters do have a hard stop you know.
One minute up, one minute down with no other direction to go.
Feel free to hop on off of this merry go around that we call a marriage if you can’t respect my boundaries.
About this poem
Firm boundaries in a relationship, with a decisive yet playful tone.
