The girl inside my head

If someone were to ask me
I would say that I was fine,
But there lives a girl inside my head
who’s voice sounds just like mine.
She’ll tell me all these hurtful things
and I can’t figure out why,
But she’ll tell me that I’m worthless
and she likes it when I cry.
Sometimes when I wake up
I don’t want to leave my bed,
Because she takes up all my thoughts
And she’s screaming in my head.
And I’ve tried to be perfect
But she doesn’t go away,
I think no matter what I do
She’s always gonna stay.
On my darkened days I wonder
If other people fight this too,
If they too hate themselves to death
No matter what they do.
If someone were to ask me
I would say that I was fine,
But there lives a girl inside my head
who’s voice sounds just like mine.

This has such a happy catchy rhythm to it but the words and meaning are in total contrast. You made an excellent job with this poem.
