TW// Mentions of self-harm, suicide321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CZDkyWt1r

AN// I wrote this yesterday for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd enter it here.321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHktk8gLYM7

Would it be better

If I just didn't matter?

If everything that I did

Didn't end up broken and shattered?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B1M6ZcmcK

I try my damn best

Day in and day out

But my very best efforts

End up clouded in doubt

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaUKBuQPuf

Perhaps you'd be happy

If I was just gone

Taken out of the game

Instead of just being a pawn

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2DZsRmf92

When will you realize

I did all that I could?

If my blood is all spilt

Will I have done what I should?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkziYbR9Ox

With a gun to my head

Will you still tell me I failed?

With a knife to my wrist

Will you still say that I bailed?

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaGTUEiqzx

To you, I'm just useless

Can't do anything right

And I guess it's just true

I just don't want to fight

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcthrZZABq

So I guess that's just it

No 'ifs', 'ands', or 'buts'

I'm the useless daughter

And you're completely nuts

321Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW2xyV4lIO

So I'm sorry, Mom and Dad

Well, maybe not the latter

I'm sure you'll miss me when I'm gone

But remember:

It doesn't matter
