Where does acceptance
Cross over
Into enabling?
Where does people pleasing
Become
Just trying to be kind?
Where does exaggerating
A story
For a laugh or effect
Cross over into
A lie?
How does standing up
For yourself
Look different than
Reactivity?
How long is a pause
Before it’s
Holding emotions in?
How long do you listen
To show understanding
Before you’re guilty
Of encouraging
Gossiping?
Or complaining
Or blaming
Or just indulging
In negativity
That you’re trying
So hard
To leave behind?
I feel like I’m constantly
Navigating
So many
Invisible lines
