White sheets stained red in a hotel bed292Please respect copyright.PENANAPhIe2R3W4W
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone292Please respect copyright.PENANAht3ygKPqTc
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing292Please respect copyright.PENANAhLJev8FkLp
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping292Please respect copyright.PENANAEldRPutE7r
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 292Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ8BSxLEtv
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 292Please respect copyright.PENANAcacjKp493x
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head292Please respect copyright.PENANAsFZRC9Swo2
Vivid visions invading my rest 292Please respect copyright.PENANAj9tDSONwDw
I can't sleep because all I see is death292Please respect copyright.PENANAVcxJMLjyC9
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 292Please respect copyright.PENANA0P2coXo2vm
Thinking about death at such an early age292Please respect copyright.PENANAoeeV5IXu10
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 292Please respect copyright.PENANARPijDxZ4DC
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest292Please respect copyright.PENANAey0wkDv3GG
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 292Please respect copyright.PENANAv2raB16ajq
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end292Please respect copyright.PENANAzLcssbx6nG
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again292Please respect copyright.PENANAyk05SgfZeB
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying292Please respect copyright.PENANAx3CIIh9i9e
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries292Please respect copyright.PENANAbyqWhTiLlW
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"292Please respect copyright.PENANA8WRFOZBkYX
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 292Please respect copyright.PENANAI5KUn74tJZ
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends292Please respect copyright.PENANAzDYTYJnlVw
Nobody actually cares until you're dead292Please respect copyright.PENANAvEa8eTPW6A
Until you're another headline in the news292Please respect copyright.PENANAbAvd5lciCQ
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 292Please respect copyright.PENANAaePHDDLA3u
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 292Please respect copyright.PENANAmQY7Bp8rFw
"I miss you today" 292Please respect copyright.PENANABrsffOpBtT
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around292Please respect copyright.PENANAQMDqvHf653
But they care now, 292Please respect copyright.PENANANY0uV3FdJ4
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 292Please respect copyright.PENANATTq1YsIQyI
Mixed signals is all they send292Please respect copyright.PENANALrTRLfjTtD
One day I matter to them 292Please respect copyright.PENANASGgX0pNJcK
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine292Please respect copyright.PENANARsQGDeDdvm
A few months ago, I felt like flying 292Please respect copyright.PENANAqoLscBnnXS
A few months ago, I truly felt alive292Please respect copyright.PENANABCml7jAWd9
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 292Please respect copyright.PENANACsGegihl2U
It's hard to explain with words,292Please respect copyright.PENANAQZutFrGj0e
How the silence kills 292Please respect copyright.PENANAZDdWEbsktH
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 292Please respect copyright.PENANA05RAZeszku
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 292Please respect copyright.PENANA0lvS4ayR1q
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 292Please respect copyright.PENANAb5Zejx4Xsy
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow292Please respect copyright.PENANAKI2SrFgKjy
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 292Please respect copyright.PENANASyYtB2uaRx
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 292Please respect copyright.PENANAdzMU57vgoL
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it292Please respect copyright.PENANAH11xeApt8u
The little voice in my head, it screams it292Please respect copyright.PENANA8viTtBmMms
"This was their choice"292Please respect copyright.PENANARG5XrTGT2a
And to be lonely all the time is mine292Please respect copyright.PENANAtn6Ybpka3V
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly292Please respect copyright.PENANAOSOuSLptWX
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains292Please respect copyright.PENANAhMq8LGeiNk
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned292Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ZWDvQoqB
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 292Please respect copyright.PENANA57emdhOl01
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 292Please respect copyright.PENANA3OaJehVXyQ
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying292Please respect copyright.PENANAGCa1AVgFwF
I wish somebody would call292Please respect copyright.PENANANBz4Ns2RAB
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 292Please respect copyright.PENANAh3lJCo1CDM
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 292Please respect copyright.PENANAfuDiKcW3M8
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden292Please respect copyright.PENANAXcymyFvKVl
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 292Please respect copyright.PENANAg9viYEwHgz
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 292Please respect copyright.PENANAf93Kf3fgQy
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 292Please respect copyright.PENANAhvabdBrAee
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
