White sheets stained red in a hotel bed259Please respect copyright.PENANA0LvOBcRd6w
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone259Please respect copyright.PENANAWbrvFRPx3h
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing259Please respect copyright.PENANAQmy9th67w8
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping259Please respect copyright.PENANArrJvJBLnuq
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 259Please respect copyright.PENANAMXw9h0RQlt
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 259Please respect copyright.PENANAnsuXP8uDgb
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head259Please respect copyright.PENANAW6nAhEYHrV
Vivid visions invading my rest 259Please respect copyright.PENANAK8isRSohh3
I can't sleep because all I see is death259Please respect copyright.PENANAWeoKnQaApq
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 259Please respect copyright.PENANApY5RYtFRoQ
Thinking about death at such an early age259Please respect copyright.PENANAWn3GaeFI2L
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 259Please respect copyright.PENANAcdTLAAyqX4
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest259Please respect copyright.PENANA14V9wblqlI
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 259Please respect copyright.PENANAG0xLCZYZa9
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end259Please respect copyright.PENANAJqH5UDmgSF
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again259Please respect copyright.PENANAwXAo4B3Mvo
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying259Please respect copyright.PENANA9L2uT4TacS
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries259Please respect copyright.PENANAIbkQIw3mZN
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"259Please respect copyright.PENANAYeIi3L0mUz
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 259Please respect copyright.PENANAIjQDHJnCgo
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends259Please respect copyright.PENANA8x8aFps14s
Nobody actually cares until you're dead259Please respect copyright.PENANArpDpmQtD23
Until you're another headline in the news259Please respect copyright.PENANAo5ePbGV8uX
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 259Please respect copyright.PENANAmnsgcowB7i
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 259Please respect copyright.PENANAWJPGM9eKlf
"I miss you today" 259Please respect copyright.PENANAMY3ToM06NH
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around259Please respect copyright.PENANAkZwqt2Cctx
But they care now, 259Please respect copyright.PENANAbns64y2Bb1
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 259Please respect copyright.PENANApl2Kmv5ITP
Mixed signals is all they send259Please respect copyright.PENANAxwLRZLHmfv
One day I matter to them 259Please respect copyright.PENANANIlIgwt3GX
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine259Please respect copyright.PENANAmdDynH5a2T
A few months ago, I felt like flying 259Please respect copyright.PENANAOS0aZN8ESJ
A few months ago, I truly felt alive259Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1gbDylM3m
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 259Please respect copyright.PENANA10dvtKDshk
It's hard to explain with words,259Please respect copyright.PENANANpApqWytSb
How the silence kills 259Please respect copyright.PENANAGWPo0Jplao
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 259Please respect copyright.PENANArl6xfASp4h
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 259Please respect copyright.PENANAp5T5UnkrKR
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 259Please respect copyright.PENANAAkxQXmzlWZ
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow259Please respect copyright.PENANArkVpMCEhAW
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 259Please respect copyright.PENANAyRM8eI3e2a
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 259Please respect copyright.PENANAtpSrHl7v8N
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it259Please respect copyright.PENANAS25DHNC3NA
The little voice in my head, it screams it259Please respect copyright.PENANAWiqbz4MZYa
"This was their choice"259Please respect copyright.PENANAwsUrjQG8Yt
And to be lonely all the time is mine259Please respect copyright.PENANAoVfdYELVHO
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly259Please respect copyright.PENANAX8YuJSBZm7
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains259Please respect copyright.PENANAVeFOpJzKqI
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned259Please respect copyright.PENANAPN7DNSwSOr
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 259Please respect copyright.PENANATDquAo9PAC
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 259Please respect copyright.PENANAU3O5Fkg94F
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying259Please respect copyright.PENANA9T9AiJ2RPJ
I wish somebody would call259Please respect copyright.PENANAOm0cQ92HZd
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 259Please respect copyright.PENANA6SQ90Fc26N
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 259Please respect copyright.PENANAdDQ9fBmEqh
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden259Please respect copyright.PENANAYeY9kgr1jg
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 259Please respect copyright.PENANAD3hgijXZuS
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 259Please respect copyright.PENANAxbhLKNLICE
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 259Please respect copyright.PENANA92dIU43tYc
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
