TW// Mentions of self-harm, suicide302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ308ijQ5Uqb

AN// I wrote this yesterday for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd enter it here.302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiVNeK2klJ

Would it be better

If I just didn't matter?

If everything that I did

Didn't end up broken and shattered?

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8hQ2k8oHU

I try my damn best

Day in and day out

But my very best efforts

End up clouded in doubt

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofXm2ocqDV

Perhaps you'd be happy

If I was just gone

Taken out of the game

Instead of just being a pawn

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyfFb80ZZv

When will you realize

I did all that I could?

If my blood is all spilt

Will I have done what I should?

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfHKuRuVMP

With a gun to my head

Will you still tell me I failed?

With a knife to my wrist

Will you still say that I bailed?

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXyhJiazzm

To you, I'm just useless

Can't do anything right

And I guess it's just true

I just don't want to fight

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEjcLuGLMW

So I guess that's just it

No 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts'

I'm the useless daughter

And you're completely nuts

302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITHOcUeI9r

So I'm sorry, Mom and Dad

Well, maybe not the latter

I'm sure you'll miss me when I'm gone

But remember:

It doesn't matter
