Dancing Around Boundaries

Self - Awareness

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

Let's set boundaries

Who dances around

When the dance is not there

Oh, mother, how can I make my heart

Look away

And look at your boyfriend

The girl will turn her neck away from me

And look like this in a strange way

Where is that hand going

Finding and hiding secrets

Don't look like this lover

Look at it from outside

Look and pull the brake

Sudden orders may arise

From a distance, the boundary

Seeing and knowing where you are

You are growing up in a young age

It is not a coincidence that this is happening

If it is not like that, I will be surprised

There is no difference

And I will come to my senses

No matter what I do, I will take care of it properly

The work is done
