White sheets stained red in a hotel bed239Please respect copyright.PENANAcU9WT6PfNP
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone239Please respect copyright.PENANAQhoqTh9kAD
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing239Please respect copyright.PENANATuMLmmKevU
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping239Please respect copyright.PENANACjKguFkMgx
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 239Please respect copyright.PENANA01Oxa8tMyA
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 239Please respect copyright.PENANAN1yYsbUFBJ
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head239Please respect copyright.PENANA7XSTer4rwB
Vivid visions invading my rest 239Please respect copyright.PENANA9vapG11yJY
I can't sleep because all I see is death239Please respect copyright.PENANARaWtKKPJVn
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 239Please respect copyright.PENANADGRN6FAj13
Thinking about death at such an early age239Please respect copyright.PENANAKSmwPLUG0D
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 239Please respect copyright.PENANAamCLl8aUIq
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest239Please respect copyright.PENANAWsOgbdtNt7
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 239Please respect copyright.PENANAyr7BwC19Ze
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end239Please respect copyright.PENANAzFTcRq6RGa
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again239Please respect copyright.PENANACbtqM5Y5yA
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying239Please respect copyright.PENANAgLdPGoUGRn
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries239Please respect copyright.PENANAcRLZ3qQKqS
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"239Please respect copyright.PENANA9TOgRELCBh
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 239Please respect copyright.PENANAoHRkZ0IXQ9
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends239Please respect copyright.PENANAyGkTU5kp1G
Nobody actually cares until you're dead239Please respect copyright.PENANAjpmLccpdA5
Until you're another headline in the news239Please respect copyright.PENANA6LhMvbysUr
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 239Please respect copyright.PENANAn1p9B8OKyv
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 239Please respect copyright.PENANAWxk1oFB2eR
"I miss you today" 239Please respect copyright.PENANAtAjDCHosMV
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around239Please respect copyright.PENANA2gcmmWq3SN
But they care now, 239Please respect copyright.PENANA7KHiJicFy3
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 239Please respect copyright.PENANASTexrU4dQr
Mixed signals is all they send239Please respect copyright.PENANA67Q4vS0LSW
One day I matter to them 239Please respect copyright.PENANA6avDOfj49C
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine239Please respect copyright.PENANAeBmg3NnrMx
A few months ago, I felt like flying 239Please respect copyright.PENANADE58GzZBWK
A few months ago, I truly felt alive239Please respect copyright.PENANAELAC15ZSmn
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 239Please respect copyright.PENANA1ueH1qLY1H
It's hard to explain with words,239Please respect copyright.PENANAWS520461Sj
How the silence kills 239Please respect copyright.PENANAHllacVQuXu
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 239Please respect copyright.PENANAQaT1jkaAW3
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 239Please respect copyright.PENANAJKvaZLr1GK
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 239Please respect copyright.PENANAfVv9bgBRR8
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow239Please respect copyright.PENANAYe24kvR2OA
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 239Please respect copyright.PENANAPYECIIMqoJ
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 239Please respect copyright.PENANAgNryOf2RQn
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it239Please respect copyright.PENANADr4PAoT3Bd
The little voice in my head, it screams it239Please respect copyright.PENANAg0Bo6ZPyBZ
"This was their choice"239Please respect copyright.PENANAwuv6942Srb
And to be lonely all the time is mine239Please respect copyright.PENANA4eX3inRpo2
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly239Please respect copyright.PENANAxRxgQeXeFd
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains239Please respect copyright.PENANALNY24MyCBQ
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned239Please respect copyright.PENANAuFA1F1wCHA
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 239Please respect copyright.PENANADYfr0IAFLD
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 239Please respect copyright.PENANAL9zBxuQU3y
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying239Please respect copyright.PENANAd2pZyKCQwB
I wish somebody would call239Please respect copyright.PENANAwWcYcgdSl8
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 239Please respect copyright.PENANAjhYBziJvQn
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 239Please respect copyright.PENANAn6yE19RuyU
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden239Please respect copyright.PENANAml0EI7EscM
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 239Please respect copyright.PENANADnIWtdBhmk
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 239Please respect copyright.PENANAxrsgPEuSsT
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 239Please respect copyright.PENANA7PsRgvFkRa
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
