White sheets stained red in a hotel bed280Please respect copyright.PENANAf1QL8f2WIK
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone280Please respect copyright.PENANASAvM94c99D
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing280Please respect copyright.PENANAhNnDGOPdcX
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping280Please respect copyright.PENANAdXqlnc3frT
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 280Please respect copyright.PENANA54dndXj2Vn
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 280Please respect copyright.PENANA0hLKRLAIxt
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head280Please respect copyright.PENANAeBWfR4I8Wr
Vivid visions invading my rest 280Please respect copyright.PENANAYTzKg2rJPH
I can't sleep because all I see is death280Please respect copyright.PENANAs4hox1hgf5
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 280Please respect copyright.PENANAzCtum3gSf6
Thinking about death at such an early age280Please respect copyright.PENANAG6GIfEpHvy
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 280Please respect copyright.PENANA8GgZn2eP9Z
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest280Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmQfGU6Hl
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 280Please respect copyright.PENANA7J0sDSqQV5
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end280Please respect copyright.PENANAVdZ8D1bObh
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again280Please respect copyright.PENANAVN4BgsJMRe
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying280Please respect copyright.PENANAVvAi8dI1rh
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries280Please respect copyright.PENANAmoqEsXGusR
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"280Please respect copyright.PENANAbNpW9P63AC
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 280Please respect copyright.PENANAQHf1uKCE2s
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends280Please respect copyright.PENANAyil6lhpXZG
Nobody actually cares until you're dead280Please respect copyright.PENANAG5buziih6m
Until you're another headline in the news280Please respect copyright.PENANAdRXnvWEcfR
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 280Please respect copyright.PENANAYtW23ImyIZ
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 280Please respect copyright.PENANArsLXHjkaXj
"I miss you today" 280Please respect copyright.PENANAlfA7UTfwSp
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around280Please respect copyright.PENANAGQz7yhXo11
But they care now, 280Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbqDLMuLT
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 280Please respect copyright.PENANAAcgYBTvax6
Mixed signals is all they send280Please respect copyright.PENANAQA8ou8C5fJ
One day I matter to them 280Please respect copyright.PENANAVqCN47dEfy
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine280Please respect copyright.PENANA6ftpbb569G
A few months ago, I felt like flying 280Please respect copyright.PENANAhsElaEwoSo
A few months ago, I truly felt alive280Please respect copyright.PENANAubWUXKHdZK
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 280Please respect copyright.PENANAucStRg535Y
It's hard to explain with words,280Please respect copyright.PENANAVI7PIMn1vZ
How the silence kills 280Please respect copyright.PENANA9VImwcy3Qt
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 280Please respect copyright.PENANA9bdWbwDh8L
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 280Please respect copyright.PENANAuH60vZxQU1
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 280Please respect copyright.PENANAJvpwsW6vyT
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow280Please respect copyright.PENANAIpC58tdpRe
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 280Please respect copyright.PENANACTwni2wqWX
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 280Please respect copyright.PENANA8ujcbNiFsx
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it280Please respect copyright.PENANApRKlkJhPZ0
The little voice in my head, it screams it280Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4rgyjxdm0
"This was their choice"280Please respect copyright.PENANATKgUWtFEqO
And to be lonely all the time is mine280Please respect copyright.PENANAxg0znStzqu
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly280Please respect copyright.PENANAZQNbT9aU7f
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains280Please respect copyright.PENANAd3wTACzpqt
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned280Please respect copyright.PENANA2fUvPxuykn
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 280Please respect copyright.PENANAnvtevyQNRT
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 280Please respect copyright.PENANASKfJs3j8Fv
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying280Please respect copyright.PENANAPuokFa0fg1
I wish somebody would call280Please respect copyright.PENANAr67JHJSRy8
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 280Please respect copyright.PENANAaD5O2Nuj5V
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 280Please respect copyright.PENANAEeGoZhxsr8
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden280Please respect copyright.PENANAj9GnhxSrrT
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 280Please respect copyright.PENANACeOLzymcSn
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 280Please respect copyright.PENANAnNExMDSkBj
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 280Please respect copyright.PENANAn2ecdAtZzb
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
