I'll be lost inside my head
Bad thoughts 'til 4 a.m.
Then I'll try to sleep
And I can't tell anyone
I'm so scared they'll get up and run
So I don't speak
And oh, I miss when we were younger
The days were so much more fun
Weren't they?
Oh, I book a new appointment
It's another disappointment
They're all the exact, same, same
When the doctor says I'm fine
One in the morning, one at night
These pills will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
Because I feel so alone
And Mom and Dad both tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said you're fine
My mind can lie to me
They all say it's anxiety
But I think it's me
Now I've lost so many years
My pillow's a tissue for my tears
But you never see
And now, I can't even eat my dinner
Mom says I'm getting thinner
Am I?
Oh, I book a new appointment
Yet another disappointment
They're all the exact, same, same
When the doctor says I'm fine
One in the morning, one in the night
These pills will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
Because I feel so alone
And Mom and Dad both tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said you're fine
But he doesn't care about me
He'll just go home to his family
Why does no one see?
I'm not the girl I wish that I could be
'Cause the doctor said I'm fine
One in the morning, one in the night
These pills will help you remember how to smile
But what does he know?
Because I feel so alone
And Mom and Dad both tell me I'm alright
'Cause the doctor said I'm fine
Quite a poignant statement. The abstruse state of mind, the causeless anxieties and a heart loaded with ill-omen is expressed vividly in the poem. Repetition of a few lines make reinforcing statements… 5*
