White sheets stained red in a hotel bed208Please respect copyright.PENANAGUQ18H27se
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone208Please respect copyright.PENANAqrN8Dutk0Z
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing208Please respect copyright.PENANAU9kE5C316A
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping208Please respect copyright.PENANAzvnUMUrdsS
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 208Please respect copyright.PENANAI8Tuv6kIWJ
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 208Please respect copyright.PENANAzKXiCQFGRS
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head208Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ3CxQEQnt
Vivid visions invading my rest 208Please respect copyright.PENANAxMQIyrpkX4
I can't sleep because all I see is death208Please respect copyright.PENANAMWXcwUYYsB
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 208Please respect copyright.PENANARbGlj8UJ4B
Thinking about death at such an early age208Please respect copyright.PENANAQqbg06x8NW
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 208Please respect copyright.PENANAkpX9EE6duV
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest208Please respect copyright.PENANAO7OoB2IL53
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 208Please respect copyright.PENANAI8eRYoLBb4
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end208Please respect copyright.PENANAP2AamlzDBy
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again208Please respect copyright.PENANAJiza2a6g0G
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying208Please respect copyright.PENANA0rC4sXN0dL
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries208Please respect copyright.PENANAQHTNdjIDX7
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"208Please respect copyright.PENANAMFUpbIbaWI
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 208Please respect copyright.PENANAjygmynJkB3
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends208Please respect copyright.PENANAcajhuX65m6
Nobody actually cares until you're dead208Please respect copyright.PENANAIJa5bUEnEU
Until you're another headline in the news208Please respect copyright.PENANASxd209d42q
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 208Please respect copyright.PENANAv243pButew
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 208Please respect copyright.PENANAq2u9MvmKvZ
"I miss you today" 208Please respect copyright.PENANAPAMqAo4jQg
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around208Please respect copyright.PENANALVPPFdYCcn
But they care now, 208Please respect copyright.PENANAwU2ABBqB6z
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 208Please respect copyright.PENANAzagDJYT9Rr
Mixed signals is all they send208Please respect copyright.PENANA0EBgdAKMy7
One day I matter to them 208Please respect copyright.PENANAaJ6lZXG1s4
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine208Please respect copyright.PENANAVHB372gHlP
A few months ago, I felt like flying 208Please respect copyright.PENANAGWTh6OZHbD
A few months ago, I truly felt alive208Please respect copyright.PENANAtSSJDpDGta
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 208Please respect copyright.PENANAcjXdYJIXZ9
It's hard to explain with words,208Please respect copyright.PENANAGxWLEEnv2v
How the silence kills 208Please respect copyright.PENANAom5ZuGdRKE
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 208Please respect copyright.PENANALttCCalHIJ
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 208Please respect copyright.PENANAjeqo2nLE4p
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 208Please respect copyright.PENANA9LiEdfBrw5
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow208Please respect copyright.PENANAptcqx34Tou
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 208Please respect copyright.PENANAPaPy5kTknU
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 208Please respect copyright.PENANAuq3KB0ufCQ
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it208Please respect copyright.PENANAizL1aSYgHT
The little voice in my head, it screams it208Please respect copyright.PENANA3yEmPkwkOX
"This was their choice"208Please respect copyright.PENANAgMqGBJ2tZz
And to be lonely all the time is mine208Please respect copyright.PENANAF21EcmUKdQ
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly208Please respect copyright.PENANAN8vrAEqNjJ
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains208Please respect copyright.PENANABIrPpijZGR
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned208Please respect copyright.PENANAyqQdjxZtZZ
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 208Please respect copyright.PENANAbvhw94oFfG
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 208Please respect copyright.PENANATBzNQkiBrV
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying208Please respect copyright.PENANAQK3BmgIFYA
I wish somebody would call208Please respect copyright.PENANAxCBj3zGnXv
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 208Please respect copyright.PENANAOuN9oRgdHE
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 208Please respect copyright.PENANAWIbRfYkJjF
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden208Please respect copyright.PENANAAjyZfuwlWD
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 208Please respect copyright.PENANAZWz1oU8pWs
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 208Please respect copyright.PENANABfwR6huMDe
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 208Please respect copyright.PENANAYr3lH6MdIc
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
