I’m trying to be strong
But it’s so hard when
That voice in my head
Tells me that I’m just
Not good enough
No matter what I do
I can’t escape it
And I am never quite good enough
To silence it
It just gets louder until
Everything else is lost.

You’re not smart enough
You can’t do anything right
Why are you such a fuck up
You are just not good enough
You’re so weak it’s pathetic
Why don’t you just end it.

I try to appease it
By destroying myself
With razor blades and lighters
And I try to rebuild from
The thing with scars
From trying to remove imperfection
But that voice in my head
Is never content
With the latest version
No Annie 2.0 will do
I have to be better
I work so hard
But it’s never enough.

I’m so tired
I just want it to stop
I want so bad to be enough
But I am never good enough
For that voice in my head.
