make it stop

I wish they could see
How hard I tried to be
I don't expect
Anyone to understand

Beneath my mask
The facade of happiness
Lies a crumbling girl
Crying out in agony

It's a constant fight
My daily battle
To defeat my inner demons
Those voices always speaking

The ones reminding me I'll never be good enough
Maybe they're right
I'm the screw up

I have words in my mind
The vanish before I can speak
Peace is only momentary
It never lasts
I wish it would stop
Make it all stop for a moment
Including the endless agony
