White sheets stained red in a hotel bed204Please respect copyright.PENANAy42ydsPxas
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone204Please respect copyright.PENANAGlkQp5JD90
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing204Please respect copyright.PENANAtMDdWcqWUJ
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping204Please respect copyright.PENANA9wzF11hPK2
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 204Please respect copyright.PENANAzOTUjmlgip
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 204Please respect copyright.PENANAGP4VfNwSv9
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head204Please respect copyright.PENANAblGn4d2U3Z
Vivid visions invading my rest 204Please respect copyright.PENANALjMZJYQgkL
I can't sleep because all I see is death204Please respect copyright.PENANAsUldUJsX83
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 204Please respect copyright.PENANAOEUm4JWG64
Thinking about death at such an early age204Please respect copyright.PENANAzovYrP5d7S
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 204Please respect copyright.PENANAtvsFCJsuYi
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest204Please respect copyright.PENANAvTJ0cTYIuB
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 204Please respect copyright.PENANA2ymgApxA63
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end204Please respect copyright.PENANAZfQNScILLj
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again204Please respect copyright.PENANABqwwqVxnEr
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying204Please respect copyright.PENANAHixenEEKtw
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries204Please respect copyright.PENANAUfXaVawOgS
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"204Please respect copyright.PENANAoAzEeDR6th
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 204Please respect copyright.PENANAxHI4eK1Z3V
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends204Please respect copyright.PENANA6X0nkOyFOS
Nobody actually cares until you're dead204Please respect copyright.PENANAcGkq789c99
Until you're another headline in the news204Please respect copyright.PENANA7nRhyCTVM1
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 204Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ43B3HBmt
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 204Please respect copyright.PENANAyixpuF9lC1
"I miss you today" 204Please respect copyright.PENANAUwRxyARVnX
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around204Please respect copyright.PENANAi5y8kyYt4y
But they care now, 204Please respect copyright.PENANA5QMXQnNSNr
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 204Please respect copyright.PENANAo2xf6AjABx
Mixed signals is all they send204Please respect copyright.PENANATShVLeqftz
One day I matter to them 204Please respect copyright.PENANAPFN1UDDrFx
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine204Please respect copyright.PENANAP7lkzDJ1jK
A few months ago, I felt like flying 204Please respect copyright.PENANArSTR0WuDAk
A few months ago, I truly felt alive204Please respect copyright.PENANANXBa4RiIJp
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 204Please respect copyright.PENANASGw4AERbMV
It's hard to explain with words,204Please respect copyright.PENANAN3VnzKWvMX
How the silence kills 204Please respect copyright.PENANAIBdGpVvFXR
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 204Please respect copyright.PENANAfEMzugpsxD
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 204Please respect copyright.PENANAuhNzCRGNMl
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 204Please respect copyright.PENANAGOGfIEbhZL
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow204Please respect copyright.PENANAmBaKiE3qOn
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 204Please respect copyright.PENANAuPCvhmVxiz
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 204Please respect copyright.PENANACXdtP0aEKr
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it204Please respect copyright.PENANAtV0CoVWKaU
The little voice in my head, it screams it204Please respect copyright.PENANA11GcU1Hnjt
"This was their choice"204Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1RmUeZ49h
And to be lonely all the time is mine204Please respect copyright.PENANAX1VNbUXeRN
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly204Please respect copyright.PENANAPFJH0vjSCi
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains204Please respect copyright.PENANAbJSPISHTNZ
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned204Please respect copyright.PENANAWMbKfSCccO
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 204Please respect copyright.PENANAMRFAkGT3gM
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 204Please respect copyright.PENANActFxs86i7x
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying204Please respect copyright.PENANA5vbkK0rOgq
I wish somebody would call204Please respect copyright.PENANAZf0mRguyM8
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 204Please respect copyright.PENANAbgkU5YNljA
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 204Please respect copyright.PENANArX8KhW5ALE
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden204Please respect copyright.PENANA9aqCXR2DnO
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 204Please respect copyright.PENANAyteTrWtvhI
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 204Please respect copyright.PENANAOAPqqX5yd0
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 204Please respect copyright.PENANAG9fjeAuxIp
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
