Inside my Head

"Fine"

She tries to laugh and fake a smile
But she's been sad for quite a while.
It's no one's fault, it's in her head.
She just can't seem to leave the bed.

Her heart's been broken, left alone
The fears that crept inside have grown.
But still she tries to love again
Afraid to lose another friend.

She knows she's weak but still she tries
To hide the tears she always cries.
She's not enough, she'll never be
She doesn't see what others see.

Protecting all that she has left
She guards the heart trapped in her chest.
And when she feels about to break
Another pill will she then take.

She doesn't feel, she doesn't weep.
Forgets to eat and cannot sleep.
But she will live as others do
'Cause that's what others want from you.

She dries her face and takes a breath
Then makes a joke about her death.
She'll say she's "fine" if you ask why
But silently she says goodbye.
