TW// Mentions of self-harm, suicide253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvm85y61RC

AN// I wrote this yesterday for NaNoWriMo, and thought I'd enter it here.253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNImC6XDRI0

Would it be better

If I just didn't matter?

If everything that I did

Didn't end up broken and shattered?

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjKJ4TlOUo

I try my damn best

Day in and day out

But my very best efforts

End up clouded in doubt

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewL4vo2WTH

Perhaps you'd be happy

If I was just gone

Taken out of the game

Instead of just being a pawn

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaDtXU5fVA

When will you realize

I did all that I could?

If my blood is all spilt

Will I have done what I should?

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTEr5hhwb5

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?

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6doCbevUf

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

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXk4oxDfW3

So I guess that's just it

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

I'm the useless daughter

And you're completely nuts

253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7tXB5pbye

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
