White sheets stained red in a hotel bed304Please respect copyright.PENANA85YZpm6Mye
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone304Please respect copyright.PENANAwKXEgaP1V6
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing304Please respect copyright.PENANAAEZPASk7Ee
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping304Please respect copyright.PENANAXUZI0elvzI
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 304Please respect copyright.PENANAfNKmIMVb8J
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 304Please respect copyright.PENANA6aj4OjJwLL
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head304Please respect copyright.PENANAfzEcwdfByv
Vivid visions invading my rest 304Please respect copyright.PENANA0wlJerPNcX
I can't sleep because all I see is death304Please respect copyright.PENANAET7Mi2RS0o
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 304Please respect copyright.PENANAbX9IEClYlC
Thinking about death at such an early age304Please respect copyright.PENANA9Rk51pNSkI
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 304Please respect copyright.PENANAAPpehjK7n7
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest304Please respect copyright.PENANA0eKMz9wQNY
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 304Please respect copyright.PENANAxeCyRcyI9S
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end304Please respect copyright.PENANAtWG0rcsucV
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again304Please respect copyright.PENANAz9WwaBOPAC
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying304Please respect copyright.PENANAo4KlqGKQug
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries304Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ir49NeGjX
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"304Please respect copyright.PENANAb19FQ6L1RC
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 304Please respect copyright.PENANArPfnb8zoYO
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends304Please respect copyright.PENANAxJvTunKCQg
Nobody actually cares until you're dead304Please respect copyright.PENANAcgj04Ez8wO
Until you're another headline in the news304Please respect copyright.PENANARSWSoRLPQJ
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 304Please respect copyright.PENANAZNZ8crYgDA
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 304Please respect copyright.PENANAGsqe3p1IXP
"I miss you today" 304Please respect copyright.PENANAnfas7mUWT7
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around304Please respect copyright.PENANATKAnfl7LPc
But they care now, 304Please respect copyright.PENANAFQ5JahcD0V
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 304Please respect copyright.PENANACJuiyavImO
Mixed signals is all they send304Please respect copyright.PENANAEk7ejHcbOq
One day I matter to them 304Please respect copyright.PENANAbcSHGGhNsD
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine304Please respect copyright.PENANAFWIVP2YN8V
A few months ago, I felt like flying 304Please respect copyright.PENANAiwjWpjS3wO
A few months ago, I truly felt alive304Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0zuefGhII
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 304Please respect copyright.PENANAysRpc4kbsY
It's hard to explain with words,304Please respect copyright.PENANAhw4OLTz381
How the silence kills 304Please respect copyright.PENANAZfGWPnZ1xr
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 304Please respect copyright.PENANA17qmxD4fZ4
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 304Please respect copyright.PENANAswi9kuYvmt
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 304Please respect copyright.PENANApTUCWwjbHz
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow304Please respect copyright.PENANAC52uH4lUCe
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 304Please respect copyright.PENANAg94sLCtlX2
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 304Please respect copyright.PENANAdNYhX7RvzN
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it304Please respect copyright.PENANAzUqASGhtfO
The little voice in my head, it screams it304Please respect copyright.PENANAU9drhkp7yK
"This was their choice"304Please respect copyright.PENANAmNtbrCH04t
And to be lonely all the time is mine304Please respect copyright.PENANAnL8Aftnv7Z
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly304Please respect copyright.PENANAgBhVmD1ihc
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains304Please respect copyright.PENANAiyGfJ54gNS
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned304Please respect copyright.PENANAdCAvC9RxYH
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 304Please respect copyright.PENANAT0v7sIHMDp
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 304Please respect copyright.PENANAVKcgGCDKvj
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying304Please respect copyright.PENANAcuY197gjJ0
I wish somebody would call304Please respect copyright.PENANAqIhntHG15i
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 304Please respect copyright.PENANAPIscIMLPJH
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 304Please respect copyright.PENANAd08KUQHoiw
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden304Please respect copyright.PENANACsEC1iQA2Z
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 304Please respect copyright.PENANAP2VGMhojfj
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 304Please respect copyright.PENANA5gEWpCQgOK
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 304Please respect copyright.PENANAw4GghF4fnp
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
