White sheets stained red in a hotel bed248Please respect copyright.PENANAFvXRlguNrZ
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone248Please respect copyright.PENANAEt6posKXEy
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing248Please respect copyright.PENANApYL6MUQxnR
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping248Please respect copyright.PENANA24GqASQ1YF
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 248Please respect copyright.PENANAqaKDjUMnOY
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 248Please respect copyright.PENANAXzKLUQLsAk
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head248Please respect copyright.PENANAfUwgR1MhAg
Vivid visions invading my rest 248Please respect copyright.PENANAypOfwbKeYZ
I can't sleep because all I see is death248Please respect copyright.PENANAXnIKujNQG8
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 248Please respect copyright.PENANA8TUtxoZIoI
Thinking about death at such an early age248Please respect copyright.PENANAObgu5Gh47N
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 248Please respect copyright.PENANAavBQjydiCz
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest248Please respect copyright.PENANA7N2JN1uEAo
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 248Please respect copyright.PENANARNMtyi8daZ
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end248Please respect copyright.PENANAYTpcHfQnZq
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again248Please respect copyright.PENANAen4m1OElyD
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying248Please respect copyright.PENANAuXoexOEit0
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries248Please respect copyright.PENANA4GbNlPdEhZ
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"248Please respect copyright.PENANA3wSYr5hyeU
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 248Please respect copyright.PENANAu5AMxiihE5
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends248Please respect copyright.PENANAM9iJ9SRgcP
Nobody actually cares until you're dead248Please respect copyright.PENANAv0arbO4jno
Until you're another headline in the news248Please respect copyright.PENANACbzK1rR9qz
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 248Please respect copyright.PENANAV2Nt5YXdTe
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 248Please respect copyright.PENANAfJHkLBUoyo
"I miss you today" 248Please respect copyright.PENANAQjr8TVAcS4
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around248Please respect copyright.PENANAwP50PUaXj2
But they care now, 248Please respect copyright.PENANAgf05QdNhuc
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 248Please respect copyright.PENANABtBgitkf86
Mixed signals is all they send248Please respect copyright.PENANA7qZwavAJjr
One day I matter to them 248Please respect copyright.PENANAVqnM9s1h7A
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine248Please respect copyright.PENANAjS2HKtkyDl
A few months ago, I felt like flying 248Please respect copyright.PENANARxHJEO4RQt
A few months ago, I truly felt alive248Please respect copyright.PENANATMleNzFikz
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 248Please respect copyright.PENANAW3GNHQt3sx
It's hard to explain with words,248Please respect copyright.PENANAgdq6z16pMy
How the silence kills 248Please respect copyright.PENANAraslBnS4C3
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 248Please respect copyright.PENANAVwPDxoyFlP
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 248Please respect copyright.PENANAYxSCYbsqTu
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 248Please respect copyright.PENANAeKR0ChmY85
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow248Please respect copyright.PENANAm6oAIT3Rqj
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 248Please respect copyright.PENANArL48Wpg2hV
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 248Please respect copyright.PENANAu9YjaIMsq3
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it248Please respect copyright.PENANAy96VC8H3hL
The little voice in my head, it screams it248Please respect copyright.PENANAry6U6zMrJi
"This was their choice"248Please respect copyright.PENANARbOtuWdU8J
And to be lonely all the time is mine248Please respect copyright.PENANA0YEsPrAyd5
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly248Please respect copyright.PENANAT9VfAl4gnb
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains248Please respect copyright.PENANAs14AcY5l5e
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned248Please respect copyright.PENANAkOd7bVBN3s
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 248Please respect copyright.PENANAzmbhdMAOua
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 248Please respect copyright.PENANAFVWTRMZhGH
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying248Please respect copyright.PENANAHCPoZNoAOo
I wish somebody would call248Please respect copyright.PENANA3mlI0EMZkB
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 248Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5CW6iyHW3
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 248Please respect copyright.PENANAqpdh7bV2lU
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden248Please respect copyright.PENANAltWWXbBacP
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 248Please respect copyright.PENANAhpBa7Zc5qG
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 248Please respect copyright.PENANARYsA0rhHC9
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 248Please respect copyright.PENANAEJuDSxG2tj
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
