Can I let them go?

I struggle to keep them in my life.

They mean well

and their actions stem from a place of love.

Yet every time I see them

a confrontation is sure to follow.

Boundaries need to be set

and maintained

or surely I will lose my mind

and find myself

once again walking away because

I have tried everything I could

to have a better relationship

but ultimately

to no avail.

So can I say good-bye?

Maybe.

Not yet.

Maybe someday.

Am I Guilty?

I followed the rules.

Some got fudged.

Others were treated with deference.

Yet a dressing down is still applied.

To me an adult.

Guilt is not necessarily a good or bad thing.

Except when it is used

as a weapon against them.

I followed the rules.

And I was honest.
