TW// Mentions of self-harm, suicide308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa6GTZqtIV

AN// I wrote this yesterday for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd enter it here.308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgcG9aFJLK

Would it be better

If I just didn't matter?

If everything that I did

Didn't end up broken and shattered?

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfO98mTa5F

I try my damn best

Day in and day out

But my very best efforts

End up clouded in doubt

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXCawyNZnm

Perhaps you'd be happy

If I was just gone

Taken out of the game

Instead of just being a pawn

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1YDp9k32m

When will you realize

I did all that I could?

If my blood is all spilt

Will I have done what I should?

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRbFAgbIwn

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?

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM19n8srasv

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

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZIhGVlWYR

So I guess that's just it

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

I'm the useless daughter

And you're completely nuts

308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0WUF7JwvH

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
