White sheets stained red in a hotel bed234Please respect copyright.PENANAmUaNFYWo1b
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone234Please respect copyright.PENANAJDYhY9irTr
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing234Please respect copyright.PENANAnpyxgchYA5
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping234Please respect copyright.PENANAaMA4NlCjVL
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 234Please respect copyright.PENANADEY5pEu1ZQ
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 234Please respect copyright.PENANAgGITaxg3uo
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head234Please respect copyright.PENANAUZBKphSC6G
Vivid visions invading my rest 234Please respect copyright.PENANAeC1QQqsrgo
I can't sleep because all I see is death234Please respect copyright.PENANAmNRD9bZ5Xi
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 234Please respect copyright.PENANArNz2GpKziK
Thinking about death at such an early age234Please respect copyright.PENANArSWx83EM4M
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 234Please respect copyright.PENANALGOYxMSGhs
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest234Please respect copyright.PENANAQKdSeP9ZXr
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 234Please respect copyright.PENANAaY6EANmZDd
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end234Please respect copyright.PENANANCvVaLVjBp
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again234Please respect copyright.PENANA3bmeb4xRLY
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying234Please respect copyright.PENANAuSoYKRWJ2G
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries234Please respect copyright.PENANAi4BrDuv365
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"234Please respect copyright.PENANAPQCH6PXAaf
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 234Please respect copyright.PENANA55oxuPnywH
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends234Please respect copyright.PENANAbLrhrrWFJ9
Nobody actually cares until you're dead234Please respect copyright.PENANA6w6uMYnOQN
Until you're another headline in the news234Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZjlVCwWlL
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 234Please respect copyright.PENANAVt6P3g0QFb
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 234Please respect copyright.PENANAt0FaVK9Nge
"I miss you today" 234Please respect copyright.PENANAxy65iDd5Qv
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around234Please respect copyright.PENANAvyJ0lgpkla
But they care now, 234Please respect copyright.PENANAEhfQTwPHWd
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 234Please respect copyright.PENANAM4pn80PspD
Mixed signals is all they send234Please respect copyright.PENANAuRC8KHSiaY
One day I matter to them 234Please respect copyright.PENANAfgeQEdrR3A
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine234Please respect copyright.PENANA4U4z7HsVYy
A few months ago, I felt like flying 234Please respect copyright.PENANAU1XORb6ltr
A few months ago, I truly felt alive234Please respect copyright.PENANA3rfnwm5SnL
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 234Please respect copyright.PENANAGuTU9Vt1Mt
It's hard to explain with words,234Please respect copyright.PENANA3cb6cZZKbZ
How the silence kills 234Please respect copyright.PENANARoXzQyB31S
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 234Please respect copyright.PENANA2I5WHsmMu8
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 234Please respect copyright.PENANABdw8BzDfTt
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 234Please respect copyright.PENANA9tHSDFNkCU
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow234Please respect copyright.PENANAubZ3rNLSkn
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 234Please respect copyright.PENANAotCdJRvniC
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 234Please respect copyright.PENANA3vGiJKw0P2
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it234Please respect copyright.PENANAFjOQu11quP
The little voice in my head, it screams it234Please respect copyright.PENANAyFgJq4uEdZ
"This was their choice"234Please respect copyright.PENANAKcoi0qgSFZ
And to be lonely all the time is mine234Please respect copyright.PENANATYzeyIL1Lo
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly234Please respect copyright.PENANAPivqDAyp5r
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains234Please respect copyright.PENANAVSeXiDru4U
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned234Please respect copyright.PENANA7YhQl5Y6rp
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 234Please respect copyright.PENANAuKLNGj1evD
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 234Please respect copyright.PENANA1naw3M2dIs
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying234Please respect copyright.PENANAMMI0Thy1Qa
I wish somebody would call234Please respect copyright.PENANABjRnktaaiV
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 234Please respect copyright.PENANA8vN49qBdiB
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 234Please respect copyright.PENANAOhUvW1Xusv
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden234Please respect copyright.PENANAbJsjgARjve
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 234Please respect copyright.PENANAEwP3ZlgvqK
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 234Please respect copyright.PENANAB2pEkXorh7
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 234Please respect copyright.PENANAef2JuK2lWz
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
