White sheets stained red in a hotel bed267Please respect copyright.PENANAaaukkJfaw2
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone267Please respect copyright.PENANALDAQxzDfas
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing267Please respect copyright.PENANAbaWKFjPtWH
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping267Please respect copyright.PENANAaF9cGM8tEI
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 267Please respect copyright.PENANAVdPqW7FX77
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 267Please respect copyright.PENANA8Y7QfLf5qG
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head267Please respect copyright.PENANAjECHl1a2BX
Vivid visions invading my rest 267Please respect copyright.PENANA4aByHsW0Ts
I can't sleep because all I see is death267Please respect copyright.PENANAt5nJtCBjjI
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 267Please respect copyright.PENANAaFpXEKFqi6
Thinking about death at such an early age267Please respect copyright.PENANAz8tl0CUB4g
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 267Please respect copyright.PENANAiPacV1ZZFt
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest267Please respect copyright.PENANAly32gkCuFO
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 267Please respect copyright.PENANAU9mgnS2s6N
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end267Please respect copyright.PENANAJeksL4Svyq
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again267Please respect copyright.PENANAZeiiKxSTg7
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying267Please respect copyright.PENANAX7KCveS8Kz
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries267Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21eVXJJXA
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"267Please respect copyright.PENANAa4QbG6UWk0
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 267Please respect copyright.PENANASZl4ywlycQ
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends267Please respect copyright.PENANAVV8ZOv64CS
Nobody actually cares until you're dead267Please respect copyright.PENANABAIYCMlZA0
Until you're another headline in the news267Please respect copyright.PENANA0w3nyLMF0n
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 267Please respect copyright.PENANAo57c2lZmdP
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 267Please respect copyright.PENANAC3jdDWlCO3
"I miss you today" 267Please respect copyright.PENANA5JKNoxUmi9
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around267Please respect copyright.PENANAf6xoVCmgz3
But they care now, 267Please respect copyright.PENANAxtohQ4MbZf
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 267Please respect copyright.PENANApyqSVWZvub
Mixed signals is all they send267Please respect copyright.PENANAqmOC5A6PQa
One day I matter to them 267Please respect copyright.PENANAIbwKAlmtln
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine267Please respect copyright.PENANATHHTxb3FKV
A few months ago, I felt like flying 267Please respect copyright.PENANAuBAzm2JK5r
A few months ago, I truly felt alive267Please respect copyright.PENANAh5IUmtvEvf
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 267Please respect copyright.PENANAOYpC7ifDre
It's hard to explain with words,267Please respect copyright.PENANA5VlNV4G4zf
How the silence kills 267Please respect copyright.PENANAsQwWV0c65y
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 267Please respect copyright.PENANAP3sS33Yski
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 267Please respect copyright.PENANANlsAqljyOI
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 267Please respect copyright.PENANAHqAUu1LtrK
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow267Please respect copyright.PENANAXMHpSeidjH
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 267Please respect copyright.PENANAmrPgziQBRg
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 267Please respect copyright.PENANAucsi4ZyKQ2
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it267Please respect copyright.PENANAMasS3Hrav2
The little voice in my head, it screams it267Please respect copyright.PENANAswGhZ6vj0r
"This was their choice"267Please respect copyright.PENANANd5r8TNPRr
And to be lonely all the time is mine267Please respect copyright.PENANAvPgZEk4yY1
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly267Please respect copyright.PENANAAvAe2wpeET
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains267Please respect copyright.PENANAaMbKF7a2i5
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned267Please respect copyright.PENANA1MoaWHdif9
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 267Please respect copyright.PENANAHCEq48Jk2B
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 267Please respect copyright.PENANA9xTFrYxNSw
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying267Please respect copyright.PENANAzkdcFGrFUk
I wish somebody would call267Please respect copyright.PENANAa7uaPUwocp
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 267Please respect copyright.PENANAGrCkph97hk
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 267Please respect copyright.PENANAxBKvxc1xBk
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden267Please respect copyright.PENANACpHdOQevyT
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 267Please respect copyright.PENANA8J1pCUR7g4
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 267Please respect copyright.PENANAIydXsaYFsz
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 267Please respect copyright.PENANA3xVcFA8bOu
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
