White sheets stained red in a hotel bed308Please respect copyright.PENANAfT9JSdukj4
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone308Please respect copyright.PENANAiCwmxmhjvo
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing308Please respect copyright.PENANAiiDwkcTuet
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping308Please respect copyright.PENANASTHSEXO94v
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 308Please respect copyright.PENANAXuFwapURQB
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 308Please respect copyright.PENANAdtBGUK27pE
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head308Please respect copyright.PENANAzRdR6uXewT
Vivid visions invading my rest 308Please respect copyright.PENANArhiX10llcL
I can't sleep because all I see is death308Please respect copyright.PENANAPomSvJqtfy
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 308Please respect copyright.PENANApFbNygBTD0
Thinking about death at such an early age308Please respect copyright.PENANAkwBsvrlyk4
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 308Please respect copyright.PENANApBbQwqqukB
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest308Please respect copyright.PENANAm9qv3ngtoZ
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 308Please respect copyright.PENANA1nTyZcKqJ4
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end308Please respect copyright.PENANAWadNDcNDXp
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again308Please respect copyright.PENANAJcqeek11kW
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying308Please respect copyright.PENANAhB6FS0TPx0
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries308Please respect copyright.PENANAsBEyVWpToJ
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"308Please respect copyright.PENANAQzM1Kh5fJh
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 308Please respect copyright.PENANAuEDmxgthHD
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends308Please respect copyright.PENANAp1HkFKTWqa
Nobody actually cares until you're dead308Please respect copyright.PENANA6WbeJZL7Gf
Until you're another headline in the news308Please respect copyright.PENANAeKt9rGoeLe
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 308Please respect copyright.PENANAxswtyzZUpk
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 308Please respect copyright.PENANA2fEGe8MlU3
"I miss you today" 308Please respect copyright.PENANABduF6ftRa9
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around308Please respect copyright.PENANAtuaQcmWj66
But they care now, 308Please respect copyright.PENANAHCiuBryjHv
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 308Please respect copyright.PENANA3gD16sQbxT
Mixed signals is all they send308Please respect copyright.PENANAna0vGh0zEM
One day I matter to them 308Please respect copyright.PENANAiQnox0a2zE
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine308Please respect copyright.PENANADsLZ7BrAhe
A few months ago, I felt like flying 308Please respect copyright.PENANAOXRL9M6J37
A few months ago, I truly felt alive308Please respect copyright.PENANAMoYck2UGVy
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 308Please respect copyright.PENANA0kktAOvIyY
It's hard to explain with words,308Please respect copyright.PENANATlF9IpTMVG
How the silence kills 308Please respect copyright.PENANAfM9moFIqFn
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 308Please respect copyright.PENANAaoAuOEfuxp
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 308Please respect copyright.PENANALl4rChAsG5
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 308Please respect copyright.PENANA2LXs4szf6X
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow308Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9Xm3z3tZt
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 308Please respect copyright.PENANAmVK61oX5el
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 308Please respect copyright.PENANAS9SnzL7NX1
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it308Please respect copyright.PENANA6htw9Q8TsV
The little voice in my head, it screams it308Please respect copyright.PENANAo5CFoMZYoD
"This was their choice"308Please respect copyright.PENANAU0nUcOb5Nk
And to be lonely all the time is mine308Please respect copyright.PENANATznIYwJ3VE
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly308Please respect copyright.PENANAkdioHj36Do
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains308Please respect copyright.PENANAlRVhuUW586
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned308Please respect copyright.PENANAwBgIwALEGQ
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 308Please respect copyright.PENANAW0AyPQ9NgH
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 308Please respect copyright.PENANA90N2xklalg
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying308Please respect copyright.PENANA53ybLE5Rx0
I wish somebody would call308Please respect copyright.PENANAyo9VwFyscf
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 308Please respect copyright.PENANA75HZ3p5jeq
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 308Please respect copyright.PENANA6y81nhkWU0
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden308Please respect copyright.PENANAOy6wIIkcQU
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 308Please respect copyright.PENANAQd8S0GoOPM
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 308Please respect copyright.PENANAFEpsieSun1
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 308Please respect copyright.PENANA6mhapZfEqM
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
