Boundaries

I construct them And lay them everywhere As man builds a fence To prevent intruders To guard his property So I also do with my heart. It's a necessary evil All in the name of protection We must be ready We must be prepared Like a watchman at dawn To diligently protect That which we value most Some do not respect our boundaries Do they not see them Do they have need to enter so desperately That they ignore the warning Private property! Trespassers will be prosecuted. Is there any leniency Any exceptions to who can enter in Is anyone granted access Or must they forcibly try to enter There is more than one way to be raped. So we struggle In the blindspot To push back those who seek to enter Unbeknownst to us I lay boundaries I am not sure as to whether It's to keep you out or let you in.
