How can I explain my mind to you?

in a way that you understand

How can I tell you

about the voice in my head saying i'm not good enough

or how about the people behind me whispering about me

How can I explain

that it is so hard to get out of bed everyday

it's hard to have the motivation to look both ways to cross the street

how do I say 

how fat I am and how the voice in my head makes me starve myself

and tell me I am too fat to be pretty or important

how do I tell you that I can't open a door or speak

in fear of making a fool of myself

how do I tell you

that I can't breathe

It's so hard to breathe

how do I say 

that I want to die

and I care about everything

but I have no motivation to do anything about it

so no I can't just go out in public and have fun

I can't stop looking around

I can't just eat

I can't just get out of bed

I can't just do what everyone else can

because the voices in my head won't let me.
