White sheets stained red in a hotel bed279Please respect copyright.PENANA2kU996JVmt
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone279Please respect copyright.PENANAMJlOjgX1xv
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing279Please respect copyright.PENANAeD1YQMn0i3
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping279Please respect copyright.PENANAbqIfNMy47s
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 279Please respect copyright.PENANAl1YR8rui86
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 279Please respect copyright.PENANANLpKiIWhXF
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head279Please respect copyright.PENANAynuguxRtxT
Vivid visions invading my rest 279Please respect copyright.PENANAnl58swI22T
I can't sleep because all I see is death279Please respect copyright.PENANAuQZcmKTj1G
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 279Please respect copyright.PENANAon7tbLobBC
Thinking about death at such an early age279Please respect copyright.PENANAVGn8LqK3Bj
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 279Please respect copyright.PENANAfnk0KG8v7H
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest279Please respect copyright.PENANAQN4QSUb1vj
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 279Please respect copyright.PENANApxrxgCytYb
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end279Please respect copyright.PENANATl0eIzrZaP
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again279Please respect copyright.PENANAwyy1Uw8qST
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying279Please respect copyright.PENANA16mXgymB0x
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries279Please respect copyright.PENANAgO0qG8oLtK
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"279Please respect copyright.PENANAaHOs9jCCK0
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 279Please respect copyright.PENANAtH4MyKCWY8
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends279Please respect copyright.PENANAXkpSHvP5IB
Nobody actually cares until you're dead279Please respect copyright.PENANAZo161UEc6M
Until you're another headline in the news279Please respect copyright.PENANAADnPEHoUoZ
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 279Please respect copyright.PENANAbC0IPGYrzS
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 279Please respect copyright.PENANAWM9Ba4j739
"I miss you today" 279Please respect copyright.PENANANKxKT1kpE3
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around279Please respect copyright.PENANAKfniWq5xLv
But they care now, 279Please respect copyright.PENANAaCP61oYzWl
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 279Please respect copyright.PENANA35KLyaVENh
Mixed signals is all they send279Please respect copyright.PENANAAvEHm72ICv
One day I matter to them 279Please respect copyright.PENANARA6QoIcGK5
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine279Please respect copyright.PENANAxgild7n8co
A few months ago, I felt like flying 279Please respect copyright.PENANAc0AJTNNs9n
A few months ago, I truly felt alive279Please respect copyright.PENANABzVH21tgUV
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 279Please respect copyright.PENANAc179HErAOB
It's hard to explain with words,279Please respect copyright.PENANAKgxogo6R18
How the silence kills 279Please respect copyright.PENANAoutSWCuEzT
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 279Please respect copyright.PENANAYGSnZVDkuY
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 279Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7KXhAVac6
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 279Please respect copyright.PENANAQaUAmONd77
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow279Please respect copyright.PENANAS1KUIF89bM
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 279Please respect copyright.PENANAm5msteJhKn
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 279Please respect copyright.PENANAdT8mdi5Kny
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it279Please respect copyright.PENANApImW29UmOE
The little voice in my head, it screams it279Please respect copyright.PENANArslIvpJRyk
"This was their choice"279Please respect copyright.PENANANFfb7z4fi2
And to be lonely all the time is mine279Please respect copyright.PENANATCM0kDMWlK
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly279Please respect copyright.PENANANTPn2zENCd
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains279Please respect copyright.PENANAVbBamgPl9n
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned279Please respect copyright.PENANA8PsubfpJs3
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 279Please respect copyright.PENANAsmbCvtchIq
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 279Please respect copyright.PENANAwPEXJ5DO3U
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying279Please respect copyright.PENANAktCDZdZAA7
I wish somebody would call279Please respect copyright.PENANAt0TqPtqL8q
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 279Please respect copyright.PENANAibKjnK3ZWO
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 279Please respect copyright.PENANAmfQIdsd9vp
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden279Please respect copyright.PENANAzEgU9ZOvH0
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 279Please respect copyright.PENANAz9RXuxX0U0
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 279Please respect copyright.PENANAORu7GBdpTn
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 279Please respect copyright.PENANADJT50n2g3p
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
