Walls

We hear everything that goes on in this room the screaming, the yelling even the silent tears she sheds in the darkness we see her in her most childish state hiding in the shelter that we provide it makes her feel safe when she thinks we're closing in but it scares the hell out of her if we get too close, she can't breath When she turns the lights off it gets worse in the darkness no one can see past us but she's afraid of the dark we try to protect her but she doesn't believe we can hide her or keep the fear out A few times she got angry she hit us, hard we still have bruises to show when her anger was strongest that's okay though, we can take it we are here for her well-being if she wants to hit us if she wants to scream, it's okay we even made sure to create a safe corner for her to run to she likes it there Whenever the fear and pain subsides she leaves goes out into the world but we've been through this before she'll be back, she always comes back she needs us we protect her
