Boundaries Unveiled: The Dance of Manipulation

Saud Ilyas

In bonds of loyalty, only parents reside,
No others, no matter what's said, coincide.
Respect your guardians with utmost esteem,
Always present, hearing your thoughts, it seems.

They'll tackle your troubles, resolve every woe,
No situation they can't handle and bestow.
Yet, be cautious when confiding in others,
They may wield your secrets as cunning smother.

I'm no fool, aware of deceit's cruel guise,
Should anyone claim an advantage, their guise belies.
For none can exploit me without my consent,
Your feeble attempts to harm, in truth, relent.

To those who believe they're masterminds wise,
Engaging with them for amusement, I surmise.
But my unique power reveals intent pure,
Whether we're, strangers or friendships endure.

If ever our paths part, it's a line you've crossed,
What seems normal to you, wisdom, counts the cost.
You may jest and jester your actions portray,
Yet reputations aren't jokes you can slay.

Departing from not just one but a horde,
The world's vast, billions to explore and afford.
Why assume those you manipulate are blind,
Through your schemes, leaving you behind?
