Prickly Hedge – 100 words

June 12, 2023 By Ellen

 

Prickly hedge

 

Don’t touch

Don’t get too close

Don’t look at me so I feel dirty

Don’t presume

Don’t tell me who I am

Don’t be late

Don’t make my decisions

Don’t stand me up

Don’t tell me what to think

Don’t use me for your jokes

Don’t turn your back

Don’t tell me what’s not true

Don’t decide that you know best

Don’t spend my money

Don’t call me darling

Don’t stop me from changing

Don’t steal my ideas

Don’t judge my life

Don’t sulk to get your way

Don’t put me down

Don’t let me down

Don’t hurt me

No!

 

I’ve been thinking a lot about boundaries and what that means to me – in the past and now. It’s a tricky subject because you have to be confident in the value of what you’re protecting to enforce good boundaries.
