White sheets stained red in a hotel bed324Please respect copyright.PENANAFq6Sfqf9Nz
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone324Please respect copyright.PENANAoyEGANgN3S
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing324Please respect copyright.PENANA1ky5kE2iZP
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping324Please respect copyright.PENANAjotfLRn6JC
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 324Please respect copyright.PENANAZAXuB0o9Tb
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 324Please respect copyright.PENANAYcR1pMa0yw
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head324Please respect copyright.PENANAY3yooPhWWd
Vivid visions invading my rest 324Please respect copyright.PENANAG2P0M6F3RA
I can't sleep because all I see is death324Please respect copyright.PENANAxkVNIc5zpe
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 324Please respect copyright.PENANAgy87PgmCAD
Thinking about death at such an early age324Please respect copyright.PENANAajEH7vUyhl
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 324Please respect copyright.PENANAK7bvc0rGKE
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest324Please respect copyright.PENANArr8sczFU7i
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 324Please respect copyright.PENANAV6TewaEcRF
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end324Please respect copyright.PENANAWTbDdXsgaT
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again324Please respect copyright.PENANAytfBt9CzBg
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying324Please respect copyright.PENANAWEZcl1OR4U
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries324Please respect copyright.PENANAZYZ2FJNbAN
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"324Please respect copyright.PENANAMyD8lFNXBz
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 324Please respect copyright.PENANAqIuCeQgk9D
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends324Please respect copyright.PENANAtDCLBotTLP
Nobody actually cares until you're dead324Please respect copyright.PENANAd02yj5I7Sm
Until you're another headline in the news324Please respect copyright.PENANAvU5daeZUwS
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 324Please respect copyright.PENANAcXZWUMKEkd
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 324Please respect copyright.PENANAZSvhvqEZIY
"I miss you today" 324Please respect copyright.PENANA4HTkpSAHXL
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around324Please respect copyright.PENANAfW6GmTB3IH
But they care now, 324Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ze7zBcccd
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 324Please respect copyright.PENANArorZmP0yKn
Mixed signals is all they send324Please respect copyright.PENANAjHedfv45jS
One day I matter to them 324Please respect copyright.PENANAuDDMQ0fg2x
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine324Please respect copyright.PENANA9IcOp1lR6L
A few months ago, I felt like flying 324Please respect copyright.PENANASGb6KZBXs0
A few months ago, I truly felt alive324Please respect copyright.PENANA8LimEtn5Cn
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 324Please respect copyright.PENANACyvrFZiMDh
It's hard to explain with words,324Please respect copyright.PENANAWFHWMlTbht
How the silence kills 324Please respect copyright.PENANA4bOApkcmvY
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 324Please respect copyright.PENANAalCD0knZCP
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 324Please respect copyright.PENANAqFQNUxOCN7
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 324Please respect copyright.PENANAcPYekjAZ3W
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow324Please respect copyright.PENANAaK5cWy3Loz
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 324Please respect copyright.PENANAIxE4vppK4H
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 324Please respect copyright.PENANA675hqF0l77
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it324Please respect copyright.PENANAZhBlEk6Kzm
The little voice in my head, it screams it324Please respect copyright.PENANAH82oeS2SKT
"This was their choice"324Please respect copyright.PENANAQjzXtV0F5E
And to be lonely all the time is mine324Please respect copyright.PENANAX5pgfw4hqm
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly324Please respect copyright.PENANAngvz0VEtaK
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains324Please respect copyright.PENANAoUzk1RXGU1
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned324Please respect copyright.PENANARbdqIAVzfF
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 324Please respect copyright.PENANADJEyRycQPC
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 324Please respect copyright.PENANAKtIjtCf2HR
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying324Please respect copyright.PENANAraJmCmMUzm
I wish somebody would call324Please respect copyright.PENANA7Engyt87iQ
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 324Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0OZMUbXk6
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 324Please respect copyright.PENANAfv2oUsQCax
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden324Please respect copyright.PENANAc83GTSffyp
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 324Please respect copyright.PENANAIJPSdmCNGA
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 324Please respect copyright.PENANAOk5HNPPlbF
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 324Please respect copyright.PENANAH2dmBxLtIC
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
