White sheets stained red in a hotel bed243Please respect copyright.PENANApbvyN5ukDJ
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone243Please respect copyright.PENANAuSMrivtJFK
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing243Please respect copyright.PENANA0B1SObjn92
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping243Please respect copyright.PENANALdbzBPcujq
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 243Please respect copyright.PENANAWz46vhcIHG
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 243Please respect copyright.PENANAxOah1gMRR2
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head243Please respect copyright.PENANABvQkaRYWTK
Vivid visions invading my rest 243Please respect copyright.PENANAYUXWwtOEyi
I can't sleep because all I see is death243Please respect copyright.PENANA3jq7c1y07i
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 243Please respect copyright.PENANAdl4vwfNsWt
Thinking about death at such an early age243Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gs3QjAPpb
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 243Please respect copyright.PENANAQt5boHXnlZ
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest243Please respect copyright.PENANAMJFKlt3RNo
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 243Please respect copyright.PENANAGKZOnz5XjS
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end243Please respect copyright.PENANAzvtA5ss5m4
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again243Please respect copyright.PENANAQdd8xR5WF5
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying243Please respect copyright.PENANAa7MV3mSe00
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries243Please respect copyright.PENANANaEKV2KGLR
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"243Please respect copyright.PENANAZFJRN10kXV
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 243Please respect copyright.PENANALxCKpsrnwI
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends243Please respect copyright.PENANAe1d6MonSO0
Nobody actually cares until you're dead243Please respect copyright.PENANAiasfAthFk5
Until you're another headline in the news243Please respect copyright.PENANAXvRSDZ2hEw
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 243Please respect copyright.PENANAZymUqu6aQM
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 243Please respect copyright.PENANAHLsspR4yTC
"I miss you today" 243Please respect copyright.PENANAB5f22ANaVC
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around243Please respect copyright.PENANA9kXGv3tH9Q
But they care now, 243Please respect copyright.PENANA86r444PPyo
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 243Please respect copyright.PENANAtA6BpJrhrQ
Mixed signals is all they send243Please respect copyright.PENANADBpSyjFl9y
One day I matter to them 243Please respect copyright.PENANADG4mnGVOjf
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine243Please respect copyright.PENANAJeGVHTdfFh
A few months ago, I felt like flying 243Please respect copyright.PENANAobURKA2ieF
A few months ago, I truly felt alive243Please respect copyright.PENANANu4ioPAK2I
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 243Please respect copyright.PENANAIWUimBdhQn
It's hard to explain with words,243Please respect copyright.PENANAbNWDuYezgt
How the silence kills 243Please respect copyright.PENANAZxiDhWQIgv
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 243Please respect copyright.PENANA3qIEl8ZsoL
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 243Please respect copyright.PENANAvVc4rfbP67
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 243Please respect copyright.PENANAsK7Wu1DVmq
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow243Please respect copyright.PENANA4nxlgOJrho
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 243Please respect copyright.PENANAA97abXfeBD
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 243Please respect copyright.PENANA4V6r2dF6ls
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it243Please respect copyright.PENANAq9iaBJVPST
The little voice in my head, it screams it243Please respect copyright.PENANAf63BnHymVL
"This was their choice"243Please respect copyright.PENANAcCSz0u5vxk
And to be lonely all the time is mine243Please respect copyright.PENANAZSAYBX5d12
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly243Please respect copyright.PENANAc4ark10B6O
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains243Please respect copyright.PENANAuOB9MeyU8m
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned243Please respect copyright.PENANAYijXjVyPCe
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 243Please respect copyright.PENANAnVT4M3fOAX
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 243Please respect copyright.PENANAWQfVy8lfX0
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying243Please respect copyright.PENANA6L8HcLpi39
I wish somebody would call243Please respect copyright.PENANAYmT1kt0Tgt
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 243Please respect copyright.PENANACXWBlOA73h
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 243Please respect copyright.PENANAvac3SryxzA
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden243Please respect copyright.PENANAx3dn0nHQqy
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 243Please respect copyright.PENANAIrF8NCFXav
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 243Please respect copyright.PENANAhxGq6tZKay
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 243Please respect copyright.PENANApOfJDdPIhx
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
