White sheets stained red in a hotel bed285Please respect copyright.PENANAVl689uRHK9
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone285Please respect copyright.PENANA48sUgFty36
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing285Please respect copyright.PENANAbDgojPHYyv
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping285Please respect copyright.PENANAtv4oDbdLtM
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 285Please respect copyright.PENANABABWtHfPrd
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 285Please respect copyright.PENANAj2DYd0bFpS
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head285Please respect copyright.PENANAraXFNeAEGJ
Vivid visions invading my rest 285Please respect copyright.PENANAW1Ye3a4azG
I can't sleep because all I see is death285Please respect copyright.PENANA8SyOO6EypW
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 285Please respect copyright.PENANALcKMRmM9Eq
Thinking about death at such an early age285Please respect copyright.PENANAhC9ihoBJyw
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 285Please respect copyright.PENANAyXhsETc6eR
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest285Please respect copyright.PENANA6IQOuWV71a
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 285Please respect copyright.PENANAsTvRgXbop6
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end285Please respect copyright.PENANAIsfOb92etp
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again285Please respect copyright.PENANACEx5xE0zxN
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying285Please respect copyright.PENANAW0gap3zEsM
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries285Please respect copyright.PENANANuRbfv9H0q
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"285Please respect copyright.PENANACZ4WfoEwO4
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 285Please respect copyright.PENANAV6tXoJf6UD
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends285Please respect copyright.PENANAwIZcBvEnSx
Nobody actually cares until you're dead285Please respect copyright.PENANAmsqxsLGKxU
Until you're another headline in the news285Please respect copyright.PENANApdZvsbKfTE
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 285Please respect copyright.PENANAbWlFXX9l6u
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 285Please respect copyright.PENANAKgyEpc5rLc
"I miss you today" 285Please respect copyright.PENANANNrZz9m8yK
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around285Please respect copyright.PENANAJIfagVC1D9
But they care now, 285Please respect copyright.PENANAflxbIyAw2L
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 285Please respect copyright.PENANAvFioTPk8qn
Mixed signals is all they send285Please respect copyright.PENANAF2cYBruHVK
One day I matter to them 285Please respect copyright.PENANAtIHe6r5qF0
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine285Please respect copyright.PENANA9BbJoinEsu
A few months ago, I felt like flying 285Please respect copyright.PENANA9nfPpoDukx
A few months ago, I truly felt alive285Please respect copyright.PENANAJsjQJto4VI
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 285Please respect copyright.PENANAEUtgnAwzn7
It's hard to explain with words,285Please respect copyright.PENANABPWqhhZph6
How the silence kills 285Please respect copyright.PENANA0axEmU2CgL
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 285Please respect copyright.PENANABAJuyzwC5S
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 285Please respect copyright.PENANA5VlfnpyZIY
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 285Please respect copyright.PENANA2FmoVSPUBL
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow285Please respect copyright.PENANAHIQXzx8Qwi
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 285Please respect copyright.PENANAKuAySpRGuQ
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 285Please respect copyright.PENANAnTyDmBGWX8
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it285Please respect copyright.PENANA3qMPA05pKh
The little voice in my head, it screams it285Please respect copyright.PENANAwVuyXz6wab
"This was their choice"285Please respect copyright.PENANAUbeBtTgbPs
And to be lonely all the time is mine285Please respect copyright.PENANAik2rQzC53X
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly285Please respect copyright.PENANAYnlKGohH9R
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains285Please respect copyright.PENANA6HlhI4Vd1g
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned285Please respect copyright.PENANAv3DZWwFryD
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 285Please respect copyright.PENANANEUnaXMboW
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 285Please respect copyright.PENANAp6doxsulG4
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying285Please respect copyright.PENANA7XKhkv5892
I wish somebody would call285Please respect copyright.PENANAOvABHichlt
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 285Please respect copyright.PENANAmu4T9Hxb31
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 285Please respect copyright.PENANAuEqcLltb4q
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden285Please respect copyright.PENANAaXhAxQgCgM
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 285Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sb1c8USSv
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 285Please respect copyright.PENANAP8PO2q16s5
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 285Please respect copyright.PENANAC1Ok86ExjN
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
