I'll be lost inside my head with bad thoughts until 4am, then I'll try to sleep. I can't tell anyone because I'm so scared they'll get up and run, so I don't speak. I miss when we were younger. The days were so much funner, weren't they? I book a new appointment. It's another disappointment. They're all the same!

When the doctor says I'm fine, "One at morning, one at night. These pills will help you remember how to smile." But what does he know? I feel so alone. Mom and dad both tell me I'm alright because the doctor said, "You're fine."

My own mind can lie to me. They all say it's anxiety, but I just think it's me. Now I've lost so many years. My pillow's a tissue for my tears, but you never see. Now I can't even eat my dinner. Mom says I'm getting thinner. Am I? I book a new appointment- yet another disappointment. They're all the same!

When the doctor says I'm fine, "One at morning, one at night. These pills will help you remember how to smile." But what does he know? I feel so alone. Mom and dad both tell me I'm alright because the doctor said, "You're fine."

But he doesn't care about me. He'll just go home to his family. Why does no one see? I'm not the girl I wish that I could be. The doctor said I'm fine, "One at morning, one at night. These pills will help you remember how to smile." But what does he know? I feel so alone. Mom and dad both tell me I'm alright because the doctor said, "You're fine."
