The line in the sand
Once clear and obvious
Obscured.
It seemed so permanent, so firm.
It seemed right.
But I gave a little,
You gave a little?
Over and over again
Toeing away the line.
Now it’s unclear, obscured
Who, what, was right?
Who gave -or took- too much?
Who too little?
Am I now on your side of the line
Enabling
You to continue
To take more than your fair share?

I did it.
Made my case.
Spoke my truth.
Stood my ground.
Conquered my tears
And my fears
Shame, denial and disappointment.
Finally said what needed to be said
What yearned to be heard.
Deeply embedded in love.
Creating balance at last.
It was not easy.
But I did it.
I set Truth free.
I will heal.
It will be.
