White sheets stained red in a hotel bed312Please respect copyright.PENANAWyS6K4w1HN
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone312Please respect copyright.PENANArNx3PVcFbg
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing312Please respect copyright.PENANA43FB4KxBXp
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping312Please respect copyright.PENANA6eRjXh503a
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 312Please respect copyright.PENANADDi3i3awhT
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 312Please respect copyright.PENANAtyWSAynBVS
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head312Please respect copyright.PENANAH0cDPrE2xp
Vivid visions invading my rest 312Please respect copyright.PENANAcS5ddGmfJt
I can't sleep because all I see is death312Please respect copyright.PENANAKnGVERdOXm
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 312Please respect copyright.PENANA9MMxR9b0L4
Thinking about death at such an early age312Please respect copyright.PENANAoxVBvkHUcY
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 312Please respect copyright.PENANABUAgGZPA4l
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest312Please respect copyright.PENANAlx52HqJuKU
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 312Please respect copyright.PENANAuIvd01PGBG
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end312Please respect copyright.PENANAkTkCc5YH2o
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again312Please respect copyright.PENANAFHF1UNE4ku
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying312Please respect copyright.PENANAaxGhmHlHmm
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries312Please respect copyright.PENANA95gMyjVdmf
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"312Please respect copyright.PENANAdEuNe7q40l
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 312Please respect copyright.PENANAEhFKXyhvlt
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends312Please respect copyright.PENANA7J4rWsNu8h
Nobody actually cares until you're dead312Please respect copyright.PENANADjfuL5Hy48
Until you're another headline in the news312Please respect copyright.PENANAi15JYqRoNa
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 312Please respect copyright.PENANAmdp84mfvCh
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 312Please respect copyright.PENANARQTZtCLkSr
"I miss you today" 312Please respect copyright.PENANAjL8mDucVaB
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around312Please respect copyright.PENANAF3GuSKDpoP
But they care now, 312Please respect copyright.PENANA1depOmsGwK
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 312Please respect copyright.PENANAXQr4DCo60r
Mixed signals is all they send312Please respect copyright.PENANAubjXxZ8Q4e
One day I matter to them 312Please respect copyright.PENANA9PhvLbS24q
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine312Please respect copyright.PENANAhUC6SedcqH
A few months ago, I felt like flying 312Please respect copyright.PENANAwPA2jPM2hl
A few months ago, I truly felt alive312Please respect copyright.PENANAzW8lD7I3Rw
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 312Please respect copyright.PENANABKKCM00xNn
It's hard to explain with words,312Please respect copyright.PENANAd6LbBuUujh
How the silence kills 312Please respect copyright.PENANAy1ay0HYjEL
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 312Please respect copyright.PENANA2awBm13QQK
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 312Please respect copyright.PENANAMf6baUvDWO
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 312Please respect copyright.PENANAzdQWhU9HQW
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow312Please respect copyright.PENANAYkO09nc7A1
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 312Please respect copyright.PENANAtDD7g4GNJS
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 312Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQ1TGBDY5
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it312Please respect copyright.PENANAVKOmJXcKsy
The little voice in my head, it screams it312Please respect copyright.PENANAmUifT0yjam
"This was their choice"312Please respect copyright.PENANAplakLZDazb
And to be lonely all the time is mine312Please respect copyright.PENANAhTjtn3msd3
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly312Please respect copyright.PENANAY4Mq1g96mG
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains312Please respect copyright.PENANAFCsHI7aMWH
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned312Please respect copyright.PENANA11FXzjVsbD
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 312Please respect copyright.PENANAtmgeeNg01p
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 312Please respect copyright.PENANAPd3qq6AbUr
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying312Please respect copyright.PENANAJBWo2du6xV
I wish somebody would call312Please respect copyright.PENANA6QELdwYYbF
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 312Please respect copyright.PENANAvj62YurBJH
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 312Please respect copyright.PENANAgljqwn3shZ
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden312Please respect copyright.PENANACZe4HJCsLK
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 312Please respect copyright.PENANA6jpTiPYqPU
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 312Please respect copyright.PENANAIrqf1jpdqG
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 312Please respect copyright.PENANAEK4XUAqLF7
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
