White sheets stained red in a hotel bed338Please respect copyright.PENANAa0Vq08Vv7g
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone338Please respect copyright.PENANAQjeHAlJAsR
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing338Please respect copyright.PENANACgCDhvC21Y
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping338Please respect copyright.PENANAdcKVm7nlMR
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 338Please respect copyright.PENANAatXLOlo0Kz
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 338Please respect copyright.PENANAQyjYqAUXRM
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head338Please respect copyright.PENANAA18k12fFlw
Vivid visions invading my rest 338Please respect copyright.PENANAscUJS0BlrJ
I can't sleep because all I see is death338Please respect copyright.PENANAd9xt3CQj40
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 338Please respect copyright.PENANAbBiEvOKrGE
Thinking about death at such an early age338Please respect copyright.PENANA0EScCPOZ3B
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 338Please respect copyright.PENANA1fs38PkJAy
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest338Please respect copyright.PENANAhBMgbdyO46
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 338Please respect copyright.PENANAc4QTfEznIr
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end338Please respect copyright.PENANAGUykrR1eRW
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again338Please respect copyright.PENANALaRSi643LT
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying338Please respect copyright.PENANAw2pLCKUi4E
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries338Please respect copyright.PENANAXP4mLpX9eN
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"338Please respect copyright.PENANArvnir6Dbr0
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 338Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ct8uJXP0N
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends338Please respect copyright.PENANAYYqTD3RDtC
Nobody actually cares until you're dead338Please respect copyright.PENANA26RKqMaTwK
Until you're another headline in the news338Please respect copyright.PENANACORtEsR18l
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 338Please respect copyright.PENANAzTl8NAZ64g
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 338Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8rF0cE2U8
"I miss you today" 338Please respect copyright.PENANA0UBDntGMLc
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around338Please respect copyright.PENANAbIYh666WQP
But they care now, 338Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZSOFAVju2
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 338Please respect copyright.PENANAnqbswLoKjV
Mixed signals is all they send338Please respect copyright.PENANAKLICHGqkHQ
One day I matter to them 338Please respect copyright.PENANApVYABMnROL
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine338Please respect copyright.PENANArUDXz08124
A few months ago, I felt like flying 338Please respect copyright.PENANAvzay1CHYnG
A few months ago, I truly felt alive338Please respect copyright.PENANAWy4E3lPrvD
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 338Please respect copyright.PENANANSqfQ3CHvk
It's hard to explain with words,338Please respect copyright.PENANA2zgznzMlTB
How the silence kills 338Please respect copyright.PENANAOxYHO9A64e
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 338Please respect copyright.PENANAVAfcUwEKVi
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 338Please respect copyright.PENANAuXrqChgOE2
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 338Please respect copyright.PENANAwTdmXWWGxg
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow338Please respect copyright.PENANAzxE9RN9Ldg
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 338Please respect copyright.PENANAW4mxk3a2Ud
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 338Please respect copyright.PENANA1CrrFIztpW
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it338Please respect copyright.PENANAyYLRrXyWOI
The little voice in my head, it screams it338Please respect copyright.PENANAnO5hr5LO5W
"This was their choice"338Please respect copyright.PENANA5zOj7ECyIT
And to be lonely all the time is mine338Please respect copyright.PENANANas6PHpLnw
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly338Please respect copyright.PENANAUA69EmdRXn
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains338Please respect copyright.PENANAO81i2GKOVO
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned338Please respect copyright.PENANAe3SSES6N69
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 338Please respect copyright.PENANA9rs2xk23KM
It was never on purpose, never my intention, but I never had your attention from the start
All my wishes, sent to the stars, missed them all 338Please respect copyright.PENANAgTDk6rfupB
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying338Please respect copyright.PENANANQcTiUfDpK
I wish somebody would call338Please respect copyright.PENANAlr3TuvPPVD
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 338Please respect copyright.PENANAbmGOvhYL73
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 338Please respect copyright.PENANAqsYY7bz3XA
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden338Please respect copyright.PENANAGxYAutvXbM
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 338Please respect copyright.PENANARZ3310tdUF
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 338Please respect copyright.PENANAHd1tNOxORM
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 338Please respect copyright.PENANApfWdNWadIS
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
