White sheets stained red in a hotel bed152Please respect copyright.PENANA7KaKt7sPTw
Skin, ice cold, lying on the bathroom floor alone152Please respect copyright.PENANA77W6DKRxPz
Brains blown out in the shed, stone cold, dead
The basement where I cut off my breathing152Please respect copyright.PENANAdefNO6iXPV
My bedroom where I died while I'm sleeping152Please respect copyright.PENANAT2yYDnxNnK
Empty pill bottles scattered around my room 152Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Pz4ESTZ9
Maybe a noose, don't make it loose 152Please respect copyright.PENANAgTYzPYxo8s
Maybe even a death I didn't choose
I'm stuck with these thoughts in my head152Please respect copyright.PENANAuoyQeDZQXp
Vivid visions invading my rest 152Please respect copyright.PENANAR6lt5Yn6RZ
I can't sleep because all I see is death152Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8oo31Mjh6
I can't stay alive because I'm stuck in my head
I'm digging myself an early grave 152Please respect copyright.PENANAbToRYf2Wom
Thinking about death at such an early age152Please respect copyright.PENANA3DhkEjs5jy
Part of me strives for the moment when the earth lies above my head 152Please respect copyright.PENANAUwUIP4AbLv
The moment I'm dead is the day I'll rest152Please respect copyright.PENANAzbG1EqctVm
No more fighting an uphill battle that never seems to end 152Please respect copyright.PENANAiEiNfcCSIK
But another part of me doesn't want to let go, doesn't want this to end152Please respect copyright.PENANAxt9rEQLJNB
I want to fight to stay alive, I want to fight to "live, laugh, love" again152Please respect copyright.PENANAlB9f1cfyc8
As corny as that is
I've tried so hard to stay alive, to stop crying152Please respect copyright.PENANAGS9xbi31rn
To cut off the memories that I live out in daily reveries152Please respect copyright.PENANAyKFydPlzJJ
The dread that they dismiss as being "all in my head"152Please respect copyright.PENANAcF7MxHlGpI
I'm honestly tired of trying to be heard, to be lead in the right direction 152Please respect copyright.PENANAa1IHgobCvw
Because, so far, it's all dead-ends and "mental health awareness" trends152Please respect copyright.PENANAwS9pAnPk0S
Nobody actually cares until you're dead152Please respect copyright.PENANA85rOfXpl2n
Until you're another headline in the news152Please respect copyright.PENANAzeCukoLzcl
All the attention directed on you, and your grieving family who never even knew 152Please respect copyright.PENANAJYR9Wcmo9C
Because they never tried to listen to you
Now they post on your page, they age and you stay the same 152Please respect copyright.PENANAjEWKM4XnF0
"I miss you today" 152Please respect copyright.PENANAEKAmIhWIs1
But they couldn't seem to feel that way when you were around152Please respect copyright.PENANAbS6Iq4D2Mh
But they care now, 152Please respect copyright.PENANARINiFuT4Cw
Now that your life met an abrupt end
And my "friends", 152Please respect copyright.PENANATg59iQ9IqG
Mixed signals is all they send152Please respect copyright.PENANAxnUkjRnoFi
One day I matter to them 152Please respect copyright.PENANAacDy7oQCrf
And the next I'm condemned
A few months ago, I was fine152Please respect copyright.PENANA3kVQxSO51L
A few months ago, I felt like flying 152Please respect copyright.PENANA1rzreXVymI
A few months ago, I truly felt alive152Please respect copyright.PENANAbPG67wy4ST
And a few months ago, nothing hurt...
But now, everything hurts 152Please respect copyright.PENANAvg24q1dxfw
It's hard to explain with words,152Please respect copyright.PENANAg3m8EPQyhy
How the silence kills 152Please respect copyright.PENANAhDZPytj31m
How the pain I'm in rips me to shreds 152Please respect copyright.PENANAMhH7nyky3K
How my mind's convinced me that I'm better off dead
It's impossible to count on both hands, 152Please respect copyright.PENANAyNDOSY6uQN
How many people I've cut off or let go of because I convinced myself that they deserved better 152Please respect copyright.PENANA5XLoXiYHdo
And look at them now, better off without me anyhow152Please respect copyright.PENANAT9levPR1DQ
I guess I didn't matter as much as they tried to make me believe 152Please respect copyright.PENANAe8SxMY14Hr
But even their "reassurance" were pretty little lies that they weaved like tapestries 152Please respect copyright.PENANArbhvmBdBn4
The grief from all the casualties of all of my fantasies, my wildest dreams
There's a theme within all of it152Please respect copyright.PENANAe1zGcvWW0f
The little voice in my head, it screams it152Please respect copyright.PENANAZpcZ4zS9Lw
"This was their choice"152Please respect copyright.PENANASNi9hbjEC7
And to be lonely all the time is mine152Please respect copyright.PENANA37wbDCDcz3
All of my feelings are voiced, published publicly152Please respect copyright.PENANAc8GxTw396y
But they're overlooked, dismissed as fiction, a phase, lucky me...
So now my eyes, once open windows into my mind, close their curtains152Please respect copyright.PENANAvbJP6WIC96
The words on all of the pages of my open book erase as the pages are burned152Please respect copyright.PENANAviLYOlLbWP
This is exactly what I deserve, everything I've earned after the bridges I've burned 152Please respect copyright.PENANAaaNm5SBGq3
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 152Please respect copyright.PENANA6mEeokPkO0
Their light flickered and died as I spent nights in my room crying152Please respect copyright.PENANAdCeq17NXib
I wish somebody would call152Please respect copyright.PENANAOmsesqdVZF
But there's no denying that there's no point in trying
So I pour it out in my writing, daily and nightly 152Please respect copyright.PENANAo8GF8ChzIp
But when I post these on the internet, I feel like I'm oversharing 152Please respect copyright.PENANATbWyrJWDBb
And when I vent to my friends, even though they reassure me that it's fine, I feel like a burden152Please respect copyright.PENANAH1EgAMHuiU
A buzzkill, a thrill-killer 152Please respect copyright.PENANA0SVWRhpYFp
So I lie, saying that I'm fine 152Please respect copyright.PENANApKUcDGvL92
So that nobody asks questions, and nobody cries 152Please respect copyright.PENANA3zgePr0kNq
I wanted to feel heard but nobody cared enough, nobody tried
