White sheets stained red in a hotel bed225Please respect copyright.PENANAw7YRlxcj3K
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone225Please respect copyright.PENANAXdNCnCwHth
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing225Please respect copyright.PENANA0ePKMHXE39
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping225Please respect copyright.PENANAr5CeM1C6u3
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 225Please respect copyright.PENANAuOUCQPfAMl
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 225Please respect copyright.PENANAaCz2PJCcUy
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head225Please respect copyright.PENANAUeUJ21LaAs
Vivid visions invading my rest 225Please respect copyright.PENANAVGFxvz9RGH
I can't sleep because all I see is death225Please respect copyright.PENANA8th9p7J95S
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 225Please respect copyright.PENANAUlweu74IIl
Thinking about death at such an early age225Please respect copyright.PENANASHUj2BCYwP
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 225Please respect copyright.PENANAMq4WEuC78H
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest225Please respect copyright.PENANAwlCl3fH36Y
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 225Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1mJl1QsyE
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end225Please respect copyright.PENANAqdwyHtNccP
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again225Please respect copyright.PENANAAapAnvdF3p
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying225Please respect copyright.PENANA0COSjKl3of
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries225Please respect copyright.PENANAqNbf2mOPqe
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"225Please respect copyright.PENANAhBZ1lcbFXM
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 225Please respect copyright.PENANALkSRX2JZS0
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends225Please respect copyright.PENANAuIt8AAU401
Nobody actually cares until you're dead225Please respect copyright.PENANAbESYGyVp2X
Until you're another headline in the news225Please respect copyright.PENANAcSMojoEBG4
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 225Please respect copyright.PENANAezYvjnHvHL
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 225Please respect copyright.PENANAJoNI0Vfaiv
"I miss you today" 225Please respect copyright.PENANAp61zcpLnJa
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around225Please respect copyright.PENANAj1RRxbJwO8
But they care now, 225Please respect copyright.PENANAh20oQzJvif
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 225Please respect copyright.PENANA9OlMMp7nmI
Mixed signals is all they send225Please respect copyright.PENANAwqx3qwwMPR
One day I matter to them 225Please respect copyright.PENANAXS5lc42DkH
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine225Please respect copyright.PENANACQ9N3Hq2OO
A few months ago, I felt like flying 225Please respect copyright.PENANA8yu7tAautr
A few months ago, I truly felt alive225Please respect copyright.PENANAVe7p2Qeh4D
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 225Please respect copyright.PENANAqaO4dE0Qzu
It's hard to explain with words,225Please respect copyright.PENANAAxxi4bfhxa
How the silence kills 225Please respect copyright.PENANA0h2PsF7RH9
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 225Please respect copyright.PENANA8RKI3OdvNS
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 225Please respect copyright.PENANAmEFqv5mrHS
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 225Please respect copyright.PENANAtdzNTGUupg
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow225Please respect copyright.PENANA21usoBnx9y
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 225Please respect copyright.PENANAuAhzIJsULe
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 225Please respect copyright.PENANAYHq0imAzH2
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it225Please respect copyright.PENANAZD7l2qJ35C
The little voice in my head, it screams it225Please respect copyright.PENANAD7OJhBqnCg
"This was their choice"225Please respect copyright.PENANAjmcXf94OCk
And to be lonely all the time is mine225Please respect copyright.PENANADTUgOnujT5
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly225Please respect copyright.PENANAzGdIB3HMah
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains225Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ00bWopTK
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned225Please respect copyright.PENANAZWvAaZxDH1
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 225Please respect copyright.PENANA4dSdBzjwgV
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 225Please respect copyright.PENANAVVSmHfwcch
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying225Please respect copyright.PENANArwkw52tPin
I wish somebody would call225Please respect copyright.PENANAryYAv5MO0b
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 225Please respect copyright.PENANA9FZJjq2Of1
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 225Please respect copyright.PENANAYmj90tt5qe
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden225Please respect copyright.PENANABG4anmLMPO
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 225Please respect copyright.PENANAdAcO6lRfBk
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 225Please respect copyright.PENANAzekrTjsbeh
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 225Please respect copyright.PENANAovqGjn077t
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
