Kindness Means Good Boundaries

Kindness means good boundaries
Stringently attended to
You deserve to know exactly
What I will expect of you

Consistent good intent
Is what I offer — and so rare
Has it become that some
Sure of its nonexistence are

If I provide an insight
In which you don’t value see
It isn’t necessary you
Appropriate thank me

For having braved the thorny hedge
Your unpleasant aura of
With carefully the mildest
Terms consideration of —

Might give this doubt the benefit
It truly of deserving be —
If not willing to do so such
Then simply stay away from me
