White sheets stained red in a hotel bed302Please respect copyright.PENANAL6Yn1AJWyz
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone302Please respect copyright.PENANAx3BzXFTSl1
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing302Please respect copyright.PENANAOYzhLHhRw5
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping302Please respect copyright.PENANAzPSNHux190
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 302Please respect copyright.PENANAy1w02b37bH
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 302Please respect copyright.PENANAunNC6jGzZC
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head302Please respect copyright.PENANAEzhpKorOHd
Vivid visions invading my rest 302Please respect copyright.PENANA46X2O6vLZn
I can't sleep because all I see is death302Please respect copyright.PENANAfCPSWSATB7
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 302Please respect copyright.PENANASdXzZvRGlj
Thinking about death at such an early age302Please respect copyright.PENANAENjYZg2t0m
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 302Please respect copyright.PENANATWfvYjqpI2
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest302Please respect copyright.PENANApLCftzDMPQ
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 302Please respect copyright.PENANAppfH7XIjNg
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end302Please respect copyright.PENANAgfXITrBuq9
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again302Please respect copyright.PENANAoSPpipG1ni
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying302Please respect copyright.PENANANILocWORjE
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries302Please respect copyright.PENANAhenc752qlt
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"302Please respect copyright.PENANAbBUGLMpwnJ
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 302Please respect copyright.PENANAeYdEudzCvr
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends302Please respect copyright.PENANA7n49Hv4Znz
Nobody actually cares until you're dead302Please respect copyright.PENANABLgwSPKjGH
Until you're another headline in the news302Please respect copyright.PENANACxmhu3ngUV
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 302Please respect copyright.PENANAJdjJ5LvAkb
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 302Please respect copyright.PENANAAcs1qqigsF
"I miss you today" 302Please respect copyright.PENANAUOtYgwyn72
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around302Please respect copyright.PENANAK2vJDwKcJV
But they care now, 302Please respect copyright.PENANAZCTtsCkZXT
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 302Please respect copyright.PENANAE6YeSi9K4P
Mixed signals is all they send302Please respect copyright.PENANASRbEhaQrGK
One day I matter to them 302Please respect copyright.PENANAcwsYTZmER9
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine302Please respect copyright.PENANAREv6LvQl8C
A few months ago, I felt like flying 302Please respect copyright.PENANAmb2sdkxZBI
A few months ago, I truly felt alive302Please respect copyright.PENANAVBTq828JBM
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 302Please respect copyright.PENANAbQTINEF5y8
It's hard to explain with words,302Please respect copyright.PENANAoRdVceEaXq
How the silence kills 302Please respect copyright.PENANAd6K1C4rPUw
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 302Please respect copyright.PENANApQqiDwG5I5
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 302Please respect copyright.PENANAijSm6ln8Yn
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 302Please respect copyright.PENANARNRngpJ583
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow302Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1vgq8YmhJ
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 302Please respect copyright.PENANAJvftqb7KfK
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 302Please respect copyright.PENANAwR8sO8SyoK
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it302Please respect copyright.PENANAIyr98RELdL
The little voice in my head, it screams it302Please respect copyright.PENANAmsOc0sgb1C
"This was their choice"302Please respect copyright.PENANAymIvWUPgkB
And to be lonely all the time is mine302Please respect copyright.PENANAlNKZf0JVpO
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly302Please respect copyright.PENANAl7qpkp41AY
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains302Please respect copyright.PENANAsB8FbN2LVe
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned302Please respect copyright.PENANAvxC904Tgp3
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 302Please respect copyright.PENANAlk0h9ZZhJ0
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 302Please respect copyright.PENANAAALTfsGqe3
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying302Please respect copyright.PENANAwC96RQgzdC
I wish somebody would call302Please respect copyright.PENANAmF1QebXSgB
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 302Please respect copyright.PENANAO41Hld0Cf4
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 302Please respect copyright.PENANA6dtX9cYj59
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden302Please respect copyright.PENANACjLznTk1QV
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 302Please respect copyright.PENANA7GEgHZYMom
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 302Please respect copyright.PENANAyNFoYklop0
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 302Please respect copyright.PENANASwwS5xceF9
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
