White sheets stained red in a hotel bed209Please respect copyright.PENANAal70jyxWsK
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone209Please respect copyright.PENANA76vPTBNAyF
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing209Please respect copyright.PENANADp5yHyAjOv
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping209Please respect copyright.PENANAoJf269sYnQ
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 209Please respect copyright.PENANAxddvYV5FQF
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 209Please respect copyright.PENANArbqJSGbrQT
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head209Please respect copyright.PENANAvi2us1Ay6z
Vivid visions invading my rest 209Please respect copyright.PENANAGBELvxyoAq
I can't sleep because all I see is death209Please respect copyright.PENANAE1mDygV7dm
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 209Please respect copyright.PENANA4SHoAzNI12
Thinking about death at such an early age209Please respect copyright.PENANAIHOehHqGcl
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 209Please respect copyright.PENANAHc0RLFoOyo
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest209Please respect copyright.PENANAgxCDLgGMJC
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 209Please respect copyright.PENANAyLhfb4KCTr
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end209Please respect copyright.PENANAVSsOytkLfn
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again209Please respect copyright.PENANAI5B0LJKFSt
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying209Please respect copyright.PENANANy5CJFRzY0
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries209Please respect copyright.PENANAuoY8Ou4NAu
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"209Please respect copyright.PENANAx0Pd15QGgB
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 209Please respect copyright.PENANAI2YF6ZBQmc
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends209Please respect copyright.PENANAk96HNWn7Ut
Nobody actually cares until you're dead209Please respect copyright.PENANAx7doztUTtH
Until you're another headline in the news209Please respect copyright.PENANAusb4q9NHAI
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 209Please respect copyright.PENANAktdd1uCNcg
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 209Please respect copyright.PENANAMSg7ox8Fsf
"I miss you today" 209Please respect copyright.PENANAMajUnvyqJn
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around209Please respect copyright.PENANA9kp37y8Sx6
But they care now, 209Please respect copyright.PENANACvuOgNvaLG
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 209Please respect copyright.PENANAb8n68IwqUF
Mixed signals is all they send209Please respect copyright.PENANAQorwlzQE9A
One day I matter to them 209Please respect copyright.PENANAJqlpC2r6oc
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine209Please respect copyright.PENANATz2DhNdolG
A few months ago, I felt like flying 209Please respect copyright.PENANAZJSOoh5Qdy
A few months ago, I truly felt alive209Please respect copyright.PENANASlmt328yNb
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 209Please respect copyright.PENANASy51rFzhc2
It's hard to explain with words,209Please respect copyright.PENANAXTeg5bG1Bp
How the silence kills 209Please respect copyright.PENANAkyhwmpscVG
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 209Please respect copyright.PENANAh0eH5QiN68
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 209Please respect copyright.PENANAqfTKq0wYzs
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 209Please respect copyright.PENANAA8T3TyKKvk
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow209Please respect copyright.PENANAXOchXn0vC7
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 209Please respect copyright.PENANA02IQHvoaO3
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 209Please respect copyright.PENANAy57NAm9xdU
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it209Please respect copyright.PENANAeKkrKxYnZD
The little voice in my head, it screams it209Please respect copyright.PENANAA2cr9jIHOK
"This was their choice"209Please respect copyright.PENANAqHqV1s8laQ
And to be lonely all the time is mine209Please respect copyright.PENANAiFccB4c6o4
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly209Please respect copyright.PENANADvYbHAh4lF
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains209Please respect copyright.PENANAm7gWWWZq41
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned209Please respect copyright.PENANAlPzfWPiMxS
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 209Please respect copyright.PENANAyByOI9LHxh
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 209Please respect copyright.PENANAJRAhKgVma1
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying209Please respect copyright.PENANAazoIcGHB5g
I wish somebody would call209Please respect copyright.PENANAOe5hwkaOZJ
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 209Please respect copyright.PENANAc45wCZa0OM
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 209Please respect copyright.PENANAo7v79AcmT8
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden209Please respect copyright.PENANAdCgwALGmcT
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 209Please respect copyright.PENANAshrhx80vk6
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 209Please respect copyright.PENANARTSQcAtAHY
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 209Please respect copyright.PENANAQXyiXB3hS3
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
