They build ladders
from my spine
and they climb
and they fall
and they break me,
and then they climb
again.

Sounds like you’re condoning to what others are doing to you, if you don’t want others to climb up your spine like a ladder, then, tell them to GET off at once, or else! You shouldn’t force yourself to accept what others are doing to you if you feel awful…
