Space Cling

It's all about respect... which must start with self.

You know you can sense when it is time for some space

A little breathing room to let heads stay straight

To regroup, find direction, commune with your goals

That need that you observe, fearing its meaning,

Is not an invitation to cling, it is not rejection

Nor is it a catalyst to close yourself off.

It is simply an invitation to give and receive respect

Because someone who knows to keep their energy inside

When it isn't that savory or safe for consumption

Is someone who understands the nature of the thing

The need for balance and room and breath

They know how to know themselves.

Savor that, celebrate it, kill the fears that whisper.

Those who know when to withdraw and take stock 

Are hamonious chords in the din of self abuse.

Deep...and introspective. You've made a lot of "connections" here to a global feeling that I think many can relate to. I love the idea of respect beginning with oneself, though it is often a difficult thing to employ. I'm naive...I believe that I will get back from people what I give, and that is not always the case. Nevertheless...this was a beautiful write. Well done.
