TW// Mentions of self-harm, suicide327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCaEddlXCs

AN// I wrote this yesterday for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd enter it here.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnllNkWNPrj

Would it be better

If I just didn't matter?

If everything that I did

Didn't end up broken and shattered?

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cEpocHwkX

I try my damn best

Day in and day out

But my very best efforts

End up clouded in doubt

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQkQcYZXfJ

Perhaps you'd be happy

If I was just gone

Taken out of the game

Instead of just being a pawn

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9SKW6fxFY

When will you realize

I did all that I could?

If my blood is all spilt

Will I have done what I should?

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2t2of1xDt

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?

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHtT2b43Ec

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

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhNRiIk9sa

So I guess that's just it

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

I'm the useless daughter

And you're completely nuts

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEQ4BnRm34

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
