White sheets stained red in a hotel bed255Please respect copyright.PENANA7c5kvOH1mI
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone255Please respect copyright.PENANA9Z3pD6Z80i
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing255Please respect copyright.PENANAS2KxA14o6z
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping255Please respect copyright.PENANAsElQi0BZ00
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 255Please respect copyright.PENANAg9TS3Uufzz
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 255Please respect copyright.PENANA5CwGbDNtGO
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head255Please respect copyright.PENANA1RqbaPUC7M
Vivid visions invading my rest 255Please respect copyright.PENANAOqni6Q00u6
I can't sleep because all I see is death255Please respect copyright.PENANAYJxQbxOCeh
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 255Please respect copyright.PENANAdDoqEO3pem
Thinking about death at such an early age255Please respect copyright.PENANAuZv8kjmt5Z
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 255Please respect copyright.PENANA1JeGqI7wfa
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest255Please respect copyright.PENANAlEWNrNaMpR
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 255Please respect copyright.PENANAgXUYf8Zue0
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end255Please respect copyright.PENANA8MBZgDNOMf
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again255Please respect copyright.PENANATTJkNpboyg
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying255Please respect copyright.PENANAwgpzJMylpN
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries255Please respect copyright.PENANAwKiogepjUG
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"255Please respect copyright.PENANAf5XbWnx6FC
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 255Please respect copyright.PENANA2pKuVRUE2w
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends255Please respect copyright.PENANA8nuOmminY8
Nobody actually cares until you're dead255Please respect copyright.PENANAyoXI9GoEsA
Until you're another headline in the news255Please respect copyright.PENANA84Udfp7308
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 255Please respect copyright.PENANAJ69oOVADTa
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 255Please respect copyright.PENANAjhJkrKw9UG
"I miss you today" 255Please respect copyright.PENANANY2lihBmYn
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around255Please respect copyright.PENANA6dRZbGIh8V
But they care now, 255Please respect copyright.PENANA7y3YI2xiQt
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 255Please respect copyright.PENANAEtVidzYR8J
Mixed signals is all they send255Please respect copyright.PENANAE76iSc36LT
One day I matter to them 255Please respect copyright.PENANAXRQxupllKJ
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine255Please respect copyright.PENANAohr6rPYVYp
A few months ago, I felt like flying 255Please respect copyright.PENANA5u9D5DMBI6
A few months ago, I truly felt alive255Please respect copyright.PENANASHkEEbsfeq
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 255Please respect copyright.PENANAg9vsPJ3Xsv
It's hard to explain with words,255Please respect copyright.PENANAsVi5nanvvt
How the silence kills 255Please respect copyright.PENANAma6Nu4vmjs
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 255Please respect copyright.PENANAamdhzefb7h
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 255Please respect copyright.PENANArPbivd5RQT
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 255Please respect copyright.PENANAwadiRkigzM
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow255Please respect copyright.PENANATq8VYKHBdY
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 255Please respect copyright.PENANAyGKef9enFK
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 255Please respect copyright.PENANAexyK35WZxP
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it255Please respect copyright.PENANAhlxMZWk43y
The little voice in my head, it screams it255Please respect copyright.PENANAxGFjG2W5GV
"This was their choice"255Please respect copyright.PENANAQkuC40luJd
And to be lonely all the time is mine255Please respect copyright.PENANAhMlXmnuZfB
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly255Please respect copyright.PENANAypgj4Gmqg6
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains255Please respect copyright.PENANAPTJ0VhBz1D
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned255Please respect copyright.PENANAgK7TFK0WR3
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 255Please respect copyright.PENANAupGUMvAGBi
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 255Please respect copyright.PENANAd4toIphFsW
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying255Please respect copyright.PENANAbBEF2AC6ye
I wish somebody would call255Please respect copyright.PENANAddoYPbuU74
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 255Please respect copyright.PENANA3kqZRibpvz
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 255Please respect copyright.PENANANhe270dutS
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden255Please respect copyright.PENANAaZ7AJbcExA
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 255Please respect copyright.PENANA4sOidxCSQx
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 255Please respect copyright.PENANAZWJ5YCAUYP
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 255Please respect copyright.PENANA9smvjsbpCF
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
