    The document describes feeling hurt and in pain that is loud in one's head, like hanging from the edge of a building or drowning without anyone realizing it. It discusses how empathy can hurt oneself before others, and how one cannot heal if pretending not to be hurt. The key realization is that while people and places change and one can escape them, one cannot escape themselves until understanding themselves from within.

    I usually just let it hurt

    Until I don’t feel anything anymore

    It comes silently

    I never heard it coming

    But now it’s the loudest sound in my head

    Its like im hanging on the edge of a building

    And I might slip any minute

    Its like im drowning

    and no one even realizes it

    no one warns you how destructive empathy is

    you can feel for other people

    before you feel for yourself

    I place my hand over a voice patiently waiting to be heard

    Over and over again

    I cant heal

    If I pretend im not hurt


    I am my own home.

    I realized people are going to come and go

    Places areb going to change

    I can run away from people

    Escape cities towns

    But I cant escape myself

    I cant expect people to understand me

    Before im able to underdand myself

    Its like im locked up in room

    Waiting to be saved

    When the room can be opened from the inside
