Don't Reach into My Space

“Don’t Reach Into My Space” is a raw, unfiltered spoken word piece that confronts the reality of boundary violations and the lasting impact of trauma on the body. This track gives voice to a truth many survivors carry: that even small, seemingly harmless actions—like someone reaching too close—can activate deep, lived experiences of having autonomy taken away.

With intensity and clarity, the piece draws a firm, unapologetic line. It is not a request. It is not a suggestion. It is a boundary:

Do not reach toward me. Do not enter my space.

Rooted in the experience of Complex PTSD, this spoken word track exposes how the body remembers what the mind has fought to survive. It challenges the assumption that others have the right to physical proximity and calls for respect, awareness, and accountability.

“Don’t Reach Into My Space” transforms anger into voice, and voice into power. It is a declaration of self-protection, a reclaiming of personal space, and a reminder that consent includes every inch of the space around a body.

The Long Enough Pause is an invitation to step out of urgency and into stillness.

In a world that constantly pushes for more—more doing, more fixing, more noise—this track offers something different: permission to stop. Not for a moment of escape, but for a moment of return.

The sound unfolds slowly, with spacious tones and gentle resonance, creating a place where nothing is required and nothing is rushed. It’s the space between breaths, the quiet after overwhelm, the

There is a line you cannot see, not painted on the floor, not painted to the wall. My body knows exactly where it is it lives in the air around me. In the quiet circle where my breath finally slows, where my shoulders stop bracing for empath where my nervous system whispers maybe it's safe now chain into the space that took me years to reclaim Do you know how long it takes to teach a body Then not every movement means danger Then not every shadow means run Then not every man reaching forward means something is about to be taken Yes Years of learning how to sit still inside my own skin Years of telling my bones, my hostels, my breath You are saying you are saying you are saying And then a hair interest the circle like it belongs there for a dark for a joke for nothing that seems important to you But to my body it is thunder It is alarms going off in the marrow It is the old memory saying protect yourself so listen carefully This is not anger for the sake of anger This is a boundary spoken clearly to not reach into my space cough and talk step back let the space around my body belong to me because healing is fragile and the smallest invasion can shake the ground I stand on so hear me Hear this clearly My space is not an invitation My body is not public room If you want to respect me if you want peace in this shared hair and do the simplest thing in the world.
