White sheets stained red in a hotel bed181Please respect copyright.PENANAURUXBI3XCg
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone181Please respect copyright.PENANAruJu3ePagJ
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing181Please respect copyright.PENANA9iOxqLuHVO
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping181Please respect copyright.PENANA5jrqWSxvHs
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 181Please respect copyright.PENANA7yEKRmV3JD
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 181Please respect copyright.PENANAvTvwVcljNb
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head181Please respect copyright.PENANAJhSF9BHDwX
Vivid visions invading my rest 181Please respect copyright.PENANAoiVbeTxH5S
I can't sleep because all I see is death181Please respect copyright.PENANAja5M0NU8ze
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 181Please respect copyright.PENANAbJH2Ho1tp8
Thinking about death at such an early age181Please respect copyright.PENANALsapMu78fk
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 181Please respect copyright.PENANAjiAF3cE8R2
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest181Please respect copyright.PENANAxPXUuMPqlK
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 181Please respect copyright.PENANAyCTv4pI3mg
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end181Please respect copyright.PENANAiF084hxGXy
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again181Please respect copyright.PENANAInq9Jn1R10
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying181Please respect copyright.PENANAqTUsxQ4ls1
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries181Please respect copyright.PENANARpaZkVTfWC
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"181Please respect copyright.PENANAP9F7QT3Mvu
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 181Please respect copyright.PENANA56d5jSdh0P
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends181Please respect copyright.PENANA9JLGFszfri
Nobody actually cares until you're dead181Please respect copyright.PENANAQXhcl15Znz
Until you're another headline in the news181Please respect copyright.PENANAXTz5FGY4tD
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 181Please respect copyright.PENANAcJLQoxgTtb
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 181Please respect copyright.PENANAyvlSfJr9ce
"I miss you today" 181Please respect copyright.PENANAXu8Da5qxxq
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around181Please respect copyright.PENANALrCO2Y93VV
But they care now, 181Please respect copyright.PENANATCVCs3oAgb
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 181Please respect copyright.PENANAGLwHfIa8q0
Mixed signals is all they send181Please respect copyright.PENANAeTXTG17IuL
One day I matter to them 181Please respect copyright.PENANAxIotmyha0j
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine181Please respect copyright.PENANA752b1HC0ND
A few months ago, I felt like flying 181Please respect copyright.PENANA7C3IotERRI
A few months ago, I truly felt alive181Please respect copyright.PENANAd4KxsLz8XG
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 181Please respect copyright.PENANAYOWlCm8tRt
It's hard to explain with words,181Please respect copyright.PENANAgwvBsejS0R
How the silence kills 181Please respect copyright.PENANAHoKGQapRXf
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 181Please respect copyright.PENANAwHtudBHbuf
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 181Please respect copyright.PENANAhAZdLcnBzL
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 181Please respect copyright.PENANAtSCJIu2GZH
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow181Please respect copyright.PENANAEx482dyuWD
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 181Please respect copyright.PENANAfJ4p0Hh92P
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 181Please respect copyright.PENANAIsCjb8ebLU
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it181Please respect copyright.PENANAveX248NovR
The little voice in my head, it screams it181Please respect copyright.PENANAwYEhOM8Vhq
"This was their choice"181Please respect copyright.PENANAdwKpQDVVEI
And to be lonely all the time is mine181Please respect copyright.PENANAwNCKRjNMuu
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly181Please respect copyright.PENANAkyEni3jymk
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains181Please respect copyright.PENANAVYEbVjJ0cm
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned181Please respect copyright.PENANAHuKxVJCkCo
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 181Please respect copyright.PENANA6iIJBGRb2h
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 181Please respect copyright.PENANA30fpFGBUcz
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying181Please respect copyright.PENANAJqAVlVdo78
I wish somebody would call181Please respect copyright.PENANADWl1ZUc7pF
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 181Please respect copyright.PENANAV1h1gTHjYL
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 181Please respect copyright.PENANAcePtvoeBQn
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden181Please respect copyright.PENANAHpeBEoyPYP
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 181Please respect copyright.PENANA1KcNxlNYKC
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 181Please respect copyright.PENANAx9gRh8KBBH
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 181Please respect copyright.PENANALxt5I8WMSB
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
