Who is emotional?

Writing poetry
or asserting boundaries
makes no one emotional
and is only
fighting
emotional instabilities
to be able to respect
relationships more
and not flow with
momentary
emotions.
I hope you will
try to know,
appreciate a person for who they are
far more than just a body,
and earn trust
and respect first rather,
than being emotional
with your needs for momentary gratification.
It is you who is emotional,
and I,
only wanting emotional distance
and balance.
