White sheets stained red in a hotel bed238Please respect copyright.PENANAR8pHWJMPbw
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone238Please respect copyright.PENANAqUGDUx34SV
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing238Please respect copyright.PENANAfPZ6YQgMID
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping238Please respect copyright.PENANAzrhIpgFzsD
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 238Please respect copyright.PENANAurLubFlbVM
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 238Please respect copyright.PENANAklWTbApVal
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head238Please respect copyright.PENANA2FeVh30r2Q
Vivid visions invading my rest 238Please respect copyright.PENANAhTgGlsglva
I can't sleep because all I see is death238Please respect copyright.PENANAjnRG48UTOk
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 238Please respect copyright.PENANAHBZxniNAOk
Thinking about death at such an early age238Please respect copyright.PENANArHcTxSIPOp
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 238Please respect copyright.PENANAiARbTrtCUQ
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest238Please respect copyright.PENANAMiLRl6aJX8
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 238Please respect copyright.PENANArzRRynAERT
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end238Please respect copyright.PENANAlrUMA9cQiD
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again238Please respect copyright.PENANAYSXTSDR8jb
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying238Please respect copyright.PENANAOH5UVIptvN
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries238Please respect copyright.PENANAyJUuXPg1gy
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"238Please respect copyright.PENANASFk4SwGqQZ
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 238Please respect copyright.PENANANkkdazqJGI
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends238Please respect copyright.PENANAWD4X1Xd7fJ
Nobody actually cares until you're dead238Please respect copyright.PENANACqNBeYHAlk
Until you're another headline in the news238Please respect copyright.PENANAKTCnnPaawD
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 238Please respect copyright.PENANAh6gEkSWjgm
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 238Please respect copyright.PENANA6VJ9kMZ35T
"I miss you today" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAuXHZsgsvTP
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around238Please respect copyright.PENANA1nXtg9Px2C
But they care now, 238Please respect copyright.PENANAm1wPQeqUVQ
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 238Please respect copyright.PENANAhR9znGJmhu
Mixed signals is all they send238Please respect copyright.PENANAClEs8WIiyt
One day I matter to them 238Please respect copyright.PENANAdTJMVkr3Di
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine238Please respect copyright.PENANAcd35gKhKC5
A few months ago, I felt like flying 238Please respect copyright.PENANA96WdtBa6JB
A few months ago, I truly felt alive238Please respect copyright.PENANApJRw9QP2Ma
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 238Please respect copyright.PENANARArBBlluKK
It's hard to explain with words,238Please respect copyright.PENANA3PPETcZZ9L
How the silence kills 238Please respect copyright.PENANAzXfh6A9nJE
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 238Please respect copyright.PENANATU1EHfCSHm
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 238Please respect copyright.PENANAmPBQiOe2MH
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 238Please respect copyright.PENANAa4CL7Dc4bg
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow238Please respect copyright.PENANAcxjZEBJWoQ
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 238Please respect copyright.PENANAEDw1INtJSR
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 238Please respect copyright.PENANAzaZ13itxvK
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it238Please respect copyright.PENANAnsuPDYj8xK
The little voice in my head, it screams it238Please respect copyright.PENANAlwTl91iYof
"This was their choice"238Please respect copyright.PENANAmyKX1Tfq4N
And to be lonely all the time is mine238Please respect copyright.PENANA9G1wTVvX2N
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly238Please respect copyright.PENANAUgunsiEeVV
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains238Please respect copyright.PENANA6OtiDz9p6o
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned238Please respect copyright.PENANAD3fmiFtiLQ
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 238Please respect copyright.PENANAsbpFrG9DOX
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 238Please respect copyright.PENANA9pd20AX1Ol
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying238Please respect copyright.PENANA7bpjIQP0Ca
I wish somebody would call238Please respect copyright.PENANAUrTTIkppVA
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 238Please respect copyright.PENANAEXaXbQ3Q2P
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 238Please respect copyright.PENANATYwYrapJBZ
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden238Please respect copyright.PENANARefm8pKF7X
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 238Please respect copyright.PENANAALeuBFFJzf
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 238Please respect copyright.PENANAEK20qA1fPs
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 238Please respect copyright.PENANArNRzCq0vai
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
