White sheets stained red in a hotel bed301Please respect copyright.PENANADXaedQoM6G
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone301Please respect copyright.PENANA3rN6bsLlkk
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing301Please respect copyright.PENANA34o5Gq0Kq7
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping301Please respect copyright.PENANAKf6tJNt7Tz
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 301Please respect copyright.PENANA8UM6KPjLRj
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 301Please respect copyright.PENANAajTyF2KfPG
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head301Please respect copyright.PENANAUla6JhWsna
Vivid visions invading my rest 301Please respect copyright.PENANARxaeG35Uvy
I can't sleep because all I see is death301Please respect copyright.PENANAb6I2AiqMxx
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 301Please respect copyright.PENANAUi92i8IoHd
Thinking about death at such an early age301Please respect copyright.PENANA0laRQTYRlF
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 301Please respect copyright.PENANAtcSAfV24Nk
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest301Please respect copyright.PENANAjEzKT8qvDy
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 301Please respect copyright.PENANAPtWpRnssX6
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end301Please respect copyright.PENANAF45Hz9mejv
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again301Please respect copyright.PENANAyN2hSCTKNf
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying301Please respect copyright.PENANAvTKsvZJ1ra
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries301Please respect copyright.PENANALeCjmfa2G8
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"301Please respect copyright.PENANA3bkh4m9hzi
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 301Please respect copyright.PENANAfCopnZ0Jug
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends301Please respect copyright.PENANAfuJCwzTl4u
Nobody actually cares until you're dead301Please respect copyright.PENANAfKx8MpFagC
Until you're another headline in the news301Please respect copyright.PENANAdbH9UtYtpd
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 301Please respect copyright.PENANA0t6OaqQpUI
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 301Please respect copyright.PENANAZGk2HzVNmj
"I miss you today" 301Please respect copyright.PENANAsUVHGqF5tP
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around301Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZmZK7uCA4
But they care now, 301Please respect copyright.PENANAnaKENTB7uh
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 301Please respect copyright.PENANAvliWzxnPwb
Mixed signals is all they send301Please respect copyright.PENANABONyqOarXh
One day I matter to them 301Please respect copyright.PENANAmtHF9TWZJT
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine301Please respect copyright.PENANAbwysA864Nk
A few months ago, I felt like flying 301Please respect copyright.PENANAMerkhX4xBh
A few months ago, I truly felt alive301Please respect copyright.PENANAP9euklVQVX
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 301Please respect copyright.PENANAWzGN5wLC1L
It's hard to explain with words,301Please respect copyright.PENANAvMsAKOZlMw
How the silence kills 301Please respect copyright.PENANAgz5g90r4kv
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 301Please respect copyright.PENANAgP0inHQtxw
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 301Please respect copyright.PENANA4k4n2M30ro
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 301Please respect copyright.PENANAaHcIFwCBeF
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow301Please respect copyright.PENANAtbLPRGtmbZ
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 301Please respect copyright.PENANARlM83Wcb8Q
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 301Please respect copyright.PENANAytWEWRhiZa
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it301Please respect copyright.PENANAJqNziLHZ7F
The little voice in my head, it screams it301Please respect copyright.PENANAdLo6tBJ3pJ
"This was their choice"301Please respect copyright.PENANAriP6HdQXW9
And to be lonely all the time is mine301Please respect copyright.PENANAyRSoeD1ODR
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly301Please respect copyright.PENANAercMXkFlFT
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains301Please respect copyright.PENANAumYThensnS
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned301Please respect copyright.PENANAb43swQnUJp
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 301Please respect copyright.PENANAvVMORKIz6d
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 301Please respect copyright.PENANAXQVa6ddzlc
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying301Please respect copyright.PENANAhyjfgiW2Wo
I wish somebody would call301Please respect copyright.PENANAwCkbNzvbbQ
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 301Please respect copyright.PENANAH1b6Kwi8ib
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 301Please respect copyright.PENANAPTWMPJVnPH
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden301Please respect copyright.PENANAW39eolWvuf
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 301Please respect copyright.PENANAhWqSyDvpkA
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 301Please respect copyright.PENANAsLGen2Eb3n
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 301Please respect copyright.PENANA58bSA47oIN
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
