Back off, don't pull on me... don't tug or paw or hang on… | JennyG's Xanga Site - Weblog

Friday, September 24, 2004

Back off, don't pull on me...
don't tug or paw or hang on me.
I am flesh, blood underneath
I feel each pinch and twist.

Back off, do not crowd me...
don't box or squeeze or squish me.
I am Spirit, my soul within.
I fly in open air.

Back off, don't rush me...
do not push or cajole me.
I am quiet, peace unmoved.
I thrive in solitude.

This is truly lovely, and honest.

We need room to express our peacefulness. I find it lofty to say "find peace in your stress." Of course, peace can be found in the most trying of times, but peace comes from boundaries - ground rules. We have to set them for ourselves, no one else can do that for us. We need to be firm in what we want, even with those we love.

Silence is much needed in our worlds...I have too much noise pollution where I work...so that is why I runaway every so often
