White sheets stained red in a hotel bed207Please respect copyright.PENANArxZnP6mQle
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone207Please respect copyright.PENANAlQZPUCKaZ6
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing207Please respect copyright.PENANA134xQhkBbh
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping207Please respect copyright.PENANA5RoqlPkCzD
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 207Please respect copyright.PENANAjoXGw1MwPX
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 207Please respect copyright.PENANARhrsFZvqbR
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head207Please respect copyright.PENANAjYnETmKTnM
Vivid visions invading my rest 207Please respect copyright.PENANA53QNf9PAjI
I can't sleep because all I see is death207Please respect copyright.PENANAMYrReKz5bC
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 207Please respect copyright.PENANAbQlkOWtQjM
Thinking about death at such an early age207Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2Q2jGkMnF
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 207Please respect copyright.PENANAZv6Y2wazJn
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest207Please respect copyright.PENANALsh5PCZ6rP
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 207Please respect copyright.PENANALaj9Asycmr
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end207Please respect copyright.PENANAzF0IsRXgYS
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again207Please respect copyright.PENANARJJtFaOqps
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying207Please respect copyright.PENANAFxImkexhUb
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries207Please respect copyright.PENANAfoyR4WBhND
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"207Please respect copyright.PENANAKPKzmD6x8S
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 207Please respect copyright.PENANA35rEBybwOm
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends207Please respect copyright.PENANAUwaG141rjI
Nobody actually cares until you're dead207Please respect copyright.PENANA7uvLWEjrAl
Until you're another headline in the news207Please respect copyright.PENANA5usdaUrypu
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 207Please respect copyright.PENANApoAOsxZWqb
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 207Please respect copyright.PENANAEhV6xBeWJD
"I miss you today" 207Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ldlJwP0x
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around207Please respect copyright.PENANAYRdHoU0GMJ
But they care now, 207Please respect copyright.PENANAUtFfs2VFYR
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 207Please respect copyright.PENANAqjY31mMusZ
Mixed signals is all they send207Please respect copyright.PENANAxBpjbAk81a
One day I matter to them 207Please respect copyright.PENANAdK89MJbNTf
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine207Please respect copyright.PENANAX8MCL7v0pD
A few months ago, I felt like flying 207Please respect copyright.PENANAzETN8BL2QE
A few months ago, I truly felt alive207Please respect copyright.PENANAXqaJSuxbah
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 207Please respect copyright.PENANAGDtHzhFxFd
It's hard to explain with words,207Please respect copyright.PENANABTmGqSIvyQ
How the silence kills 207Please respect copyright.PENANAgKZq780dG2
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 207Please respect copyright.PENANA59KW2HTrMF
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 207Please respect copyright.PENANAIBIelnYJoF
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 207Please respect copyright.PENANAqAY11sEdbH
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow207Please respect copyright.PENANAM2zd8IoSFR
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 207Please respect copyright.PENANAgbr07XIt2g
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 207Please respect copyright.PENANAiHIFl3cYkz
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it207Please respect copyright.PENANAenIGhXvf4X
The little voice in my head, it screams it207Please respect copyright.PENANA5spYpKMQo6
"This was their choice"207Please respect copyright.PENANAK9a62J0QpD
And to be lonely all the time is mine207Please respect copyright.PENANAtPyH0FjCVW
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly207Please respect copyright.PENANA4bJav49AbI
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains207Please respect copyright.PENANATcPqzOKtmB
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned207Please respect copyright.PENANAps2sCZfXQj
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 207Please respect copyright.PENANAMcppqkIvr4
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 207Please respect copyright.PENANAmSIV3mwlD6
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying207Please respect copyright.PENANAND63Fi0GTl
I wish somebody would call207Please respect copyright.PENANADpV9HWmMZE
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 207Please respect copyright.PENANATjzHHT7cDv
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 207Please respect copyright.PENANAuE6Y2MTLOV
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden207Please respect copyright.PENANAg7XWYHKP01
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 207Please respect copyright.PENANAF5zGDiVhUJ
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 207Please respect copyright.PENANAVqXJROM14d
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 207Please respect copyright.PENANAJfrQLXoc4B
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
