The Moment

 

THE MOMENT


The moment when

I realized that

I am naked

Without my hat.


The work hat that I choose to wear

It covers not my head nor sits upon it

It does not attempt to cover up my hair

Instead, it helps me work within my capabilities


My hat is but a simple thing

It is not a thing I choose 

It helps me figure out the ring

Of the tone in my voice, and the words that sting.



I work my best when I wear my hat

Using words as weapons and comfort situational

As a blanket of hope, or vengeful bat

I am who I am that's surely true


But when it comes to my hat I realized

It keeps me from becoming depersonalized.


So may hat though strange it may seem,

is what keep me, in the moment, from letting out the banshee Scream.

  What the heck even are boundaries, why are they neccisary and HOW the HECK do they work? link for this chart Setting boundaries starts with understanding your own basic needs, for me there are a few basic things I need for every relationship, friendship or partnership to be successful.  Everyone has their own needs and desires but for the sake of this blog, these are my needs, wants and desires when it comes to conversations, interactions, disagreements and discussions. Personally these are my needs: 1) Open communication in conversations including calling me out when I interrupt and being willing to be called out when interrupting  2) Ability to accept fault on all sides 3) Ability to think critically and use empathy too see other peoples point of view, or see situations for other points of view. Here are some boundaries that I have set based on those needs that I have expressed here: 1) During communication I will not be yelled at or screamed at in a conversation and ...
