It echoes through these walls
Its loud sound is deafening
Ears screach in pain,
to the harsh sound
Sometimes its quiet,
but never goes away
Its whispers can be heard,
listening is all it takes

Don't set boundaries for yourself.
Because building boundaries is only going to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

"and the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to. It's not that I don't feel the pain. It's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore. And the blood in these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has and that's the hope I have, the only thing I know that's keeping me alive." - Paramore (Last Hope)
