Moments to Myself

So I'll continue to be that girl

The one that laughs too hard

Jokes too much

Becase why?

Because if I get a second to myself 

I'll break down and cry

Because if I don't joke 

Everyone will know what I'm really feeling

I ask the voices to leave me be

I'm asking, begging, please I'm pleading 

It used to be only in the mid afternoon 

But they've acustomed 

They're always here now

It's worse when I try to go to sleep

Not even when I lay down to go to bed 

It's their favorite time 

To be loudest in my head

So if I let them go on for a second longer

I'll shut them up real good 

Just like they beg

I'll pull the trigger 

And there'll finally be silence in my head
