White sheets stained red in a hotel bed232Please respect copyright.PENANAACfxpjZWYl
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone232Please respect copyright.PENANAS5iGLmL6N7
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing232Please respect copyright.PENANA6H8Q7rI9cA
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping232Please respect copyright.PENANAlpYAkx7eUi
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 232Please respect copyright.PENANAGcgQYbP4Ik
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 232Please respect copyright.PENANA7E4c24P8kM
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head232Please respect copyright.PENANAVT7GiDHCxh
Vivid visions invading my rest 232Please respect copyright.PENANAe0gUynzAc4
I can't sleep because all I see is death232Please respect copyright.PENANAcHnlkCEAdR
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 232Please respect copyright.PENANAAc04RwqNv1
Thinking about death at such an early age232Please respect copyright.PENANABmBVRaYu0q
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 232Please respect copyright.PENANAnRsinpGy2b
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest232Please respect copyright.PENANAa7Q4elmxqP
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 232Please respect copyright.PENANAIrSDTZPk4I
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end232Please respect copyright.PENANAZarlaeGyEh
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again232Please respect copyright.PENANAicussDTrtn
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying232Please respect copyright.PENANAmJP62iXXPi
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries232Please respect copyright.PENANAmikYSlwoO9
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"232Please respect copyright.PENANAoXW2g0zq4V
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 232Please respect copyright.PENANAlRPcXPGwK8
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends232Please respect copyright.PENANAmKYFRUefoZ
Nobody actually cares until you're dead232Please respect copyright.PENANA0PC4ySdOao
Until you're another headline in the news232Please respect copyright.PENANACiGt4J89EV
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 232Please respect copyright.PENANA99J6EbEjqh
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 232Please respect copyright.PENANAqwWHzJceWC
"I miss you today" 232Please respect copyright.PENANA82LblDF15I
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around232Please respect copyright.PENANA3byXtbSADl
But they care now, 232Please respect copyright.PENANA3XvBvnfUZF
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 232Please respect copyright.PENANAViJipi69sz
Mixed signals is all they send232Please respect copyright.PENANAZxjtNGhjVR
One day I matter to them 232Please respect copyright.PENANA9nXWyUUopg
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine232Please respect copyright.PENANAVG5o6PEf6A
A few months ago, I felt like flying 232Please respect copyright.PENANA1FBCrCSOri
A few months ago, I truly felt alive232Please respect copyright.PENANAxh194mLAnE
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 232Please respect copyright.PENANAeXM3Hi988q
It's hard to explain with words,232Please respect copyright.PENANAG1evKPZ6uk
How the silence kills 232Please respect copyright.PENANAqGVHfZAmh9
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 232Please respect copyright.PENANAqYAWks9EDj
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 232Please respect copyright.PENANAz0K8ArhRFJ
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 232Please respect copyright.PENANA1Jr1wRlmv0
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow232Please respect copyright.PENANAvzwZnci571
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 232Please respect copyright.PENANADNzOUDEguv
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 232Please respect copyright.PENANAly7kf2D19Q
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it232Please respect copyright.PENANAwtBwVYTQcn
The little voice in my head, it screams it232Please respect copyright.PENANAUZ2z5iLP36
"This was their choice"232Please respect copyright.PENANAtK958mZjUb
And to be lonely all the time is mine232Please respect copyright.PENANAHuYtPeMRzE
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly232Please respect copyright.PENANATkAeoWU1D5
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains232Please respect copyright.PENANAV6W3XgxiUP
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned232Please respect copyright.PENANAlHPucqhYjX
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 232Please respect copyright.PENANAKJrOMTU24v
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 232Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2TCR6IFhI
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying232Please respect copyright.PENANA2ROcS7bQ6O
I wish somebody would call232Please respect copyright.PENANAqUB3NSZvsu
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 232Please respect copyright.PENANAjBLONX5Esi
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 232Please respect copyright.PENANAlTtS9horst
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden232Please respect copyright.PENANAdLemnZUaz5
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 232Please respect copyright.PENANAoVu72lghX2
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 232Please respect copyright.PENANAIqnGgLUc05
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 232Please respect copyright.PENANA9kfHgW79Km
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
