Voices In My Head

Voices in my head are telling me I'm worthless
Depression is telling me to overdose again as I don't have a purpose
Anxiety tells me to stop blaming him when I'm nervous
The voices in my head are telling me I'm worthless

I talk to myself, or maybe my Bipolar disorder, Anxiety and depression are talking
I try to smile, so people can't see them when I'm walking
But they come out for the world to see from time to time
I can keep it hidden for so long, but eventually I look crazy to most peoples minds

I just want a 24 hour period without any mental illness weighing me down
Weight of the world on my shoulders, how can you expect me to not go off the scale?
Depression has a control of me, but I try playing it down
It's difficult to trust when people only show you betrayal

I don't even like myself 
My parents picking drink over me, left me feeling worthless
I attack depression but you just see me fight myself
When I'm alone I'm uncomfortable, when i'm in danger is the only time I'm not nervous

Not sure if I fell in love with pain or if I got used to the feeling
The pain was so addictive, Self-harm became my way of healing
I've made it further than expected, but I've got a long way to go
Will I make it to the end? I really don't know

Voices in my head are telling me I'm worthless
Depression is telling me to overdose again as I don't have a purpose
Anxiety tells me to stop blaming him when I'm nervous
The voices in my head are telling me I'm worthless
