Make it Stop

by Sophie Ennor aged 14

try to be that perfect girl
the happy girl everyone knows
but it’s just hard
I’m not that girl everyone knows
where did she go?
I kinda miss her

I lie in bed with voices in my head
telling me a bunch of stuff that’s not true
which isn’t fair, anxiety is tough
I can’t deal with it anymore

someone just make all these voices stop
it all dropping down like a bomb
I can’t deal with this any more
someone just make it, make it stop

make it stop, make it stop, make it stop
I go to sleep to make the voices stop
just to wake up to anxiety
where did that happy little girl go?
where is she?
I kinda need her

the voices are chocking me
I can’t breathe anymore
but I’m okay
I’ll survive it like I always do
I’m used to it

I’m sick of feeling like this
I want to be in the sky where I belong
all the voices will be gone
I’ll be free and happy again

everyday I put a smile on my face
I try to be that perfect girl
with a perfect life
but it’s all fake
I’m not okay

I wanna live the perfect life
be the performer I’ve dreamt about
but at the same time I don’t
the voices inside are killing me
I just want it to go away

someone just make all these voices stop
it’s all dropping down like a bomb
I can’t deal with this any more
someone just make it make it stop

make it stop , make it stop ,make it stop
i go to sleep to make voices stop
just to wake up to anxiety
where did that happy little girl go
where is she i kinda need her
i need her right now
