🪷Codependence Land

reflections on control vs. consent

 In a land of codependence,
   we've got blurry lines and creeping
   fingers in each other's feelings,
   trying to pull each other's strings--
the language of relating is control.

 Let's find interdependence land:
   we'll make consent our highest guide,
   each mind entitled to decide,
   separate, equal, side by side--
with mutual wellbeing as the goal.

In the notebook

Qutie a mess! I worked on this poem across brief, seized moments throughout the busy day today.
