Lying All The Time

Lying continuously day after day

and upsetting people along the way

but i don't do this out of choice

its because of that crazy, evil voice.

That's in my head all the time

telling me to lie, saying that I'm fine

when in reality I'm dying inside

but no-one can see the hurt in my eyes

no-one can see further than my smile

the reason I'm dying all the while

i harm myself everyday more and more

scratching, biting, burning to the core

but for all this i have no choice

its all because of that deadly voice

now i regret ever letting you in

all i really wanted was a friend

someone to look after me and help me

help me around when i couldn't see

look where these lies have go me now

i can even do anything I'm not allowed

the voice will punish and hurt me again

I'm sick of going through that pain

I'll just have to let this life kill me then

cause I'm tired of lying again and again.

I just wanted to be happy with what i am

but now cause of all this i dont think i ever can.

    I dont want to discourage you bt honestly, i do not think that we will ever truly be happy until this evil one will let us go. let us be who we are supposed to be. I ask myself all the time "Why me? Why did I have to be the 1 girl out of the 4 who has to live with this disease?" then I catch myself asking "Why not me? I would rather have to live through this than my sister or my friend" I would hate to see them have to go through it.
    Stay Strong.
    One day it will be okay, idk when but i know one day it'll be okay for both of us!

    This is definitely sad, but the honesty in it is refreshing. You're a great writer. It is beautiful. The only thing I would change is the typo (i think in line 7) where you say "telling me to lie, to say I'm that I'm fine." just take out the first I'm is my suggestion. Great job though... and I can relate.
