The people that degrade me
the people that I am around,
that erode my boundaries.
They do not try to, but they trigger-
me and past thoughts.
they trigger past alternatives.
they trigger past temptations and
awaken old patterns that lead to death.
the people around me that
erode my boundaries
without trying
just by talking
to have them around, erodes-
Boundaries, self, new goals
They all erode-
to the old self,
to a lesser version
of me that once was
and tries to revive.
