No one knows what it's like to hear the voices in your head.

"Have you ever heard the line it always gets better?" (Like you're about to cry)

"Well, that's not true for everyone".

<Pause for 3 seconds> (collecting yourself so you don't "fake" cry)

"Now don't get me wrong I'm not one of those suicidally depressed girls that need help,

<Pause 1 second>

Far from it".

"No, I'm the peppy, outgoing, girl that everyone notices, I don't like being in the shadow of others".

<Pause 2 seconds>

"But back to the reason I'm telling you all this in the first place, I might not be the sad, lonely girl in the background...but my best friend Lauren she was".

"I never once looked at her like she was depressed, never once turned my back on her because the going got tough".

"I was always by her side through thick and thin, so why did she never tell me the truth about how far her depression really went".

"No one knew, not her friends, not the school, not her family...not even me..."

"Now that she's gone, All I ever hear is the voices always telling me the same thing".

"If you had paid closer attention she might still be here!"

"If you were a better friend she might have opened up to you!"

"If you weren't so self-conceited and always the center of attention she might have actually felt like you cared!"

"But I wasn't, the voices in my head are right if I had done any of those things she might still be here breathing, laughing, and enjoying life with me and everyone else, but she's not (tear slips out of the eye) and I regret it every day".
