Time To Let Go

I stare out at the night sky.

'Why does it always have to be me?' I ask myself.

A cool breeze gently touches my face, almost as if comforting me. Goosebumps appear on my arms, and I shiver slightly, feeling the chilly wind. I lift my head up.

'The stars seem to be shining more brightly than usual,' I murmur to myself.

I shake my head, clearing my thoughts, and think of the reason why I was standing out here, perched on top of the roof.

'One leap, and it'll all be over,' a little voice inside my head whispers into my mind.

It seems so tempting, the thought that everything could just end, right here, right now, if only I had the guts to do it.

'But do I really want to abandon this world?' another question pops into my mind, penetrating my dark thoughts.

I then start to think, staring blankly at my hands, head dipped low- thinking of my family, and how would they react if their daughter was taken away from them, by none other than herself; thinking about my friends, well, more like friend, who I know would be devastated, but would soon get over it; thinking of THEM, the people who tortured me, who laughed mercilessly every single day, and they were the ones that haunted me, my nightmares, pushing me to the verge of insanity, to the breaking point, to my limit.

A raven cawed in the distance, almost like it was a sign that I should give up, signaling to me that it was time. I made up my mind. I decided it was time to let go. Slowly and steadily, I took a deep breath and walked to the edge of the roof.

'Goodbye and farewell,' my last words were only a faint whisper as I plummeted down the house.

'I'm sorry, for everything,' these were my last thoughts before I lost consciousness and everything faded into darkness.

-the end-
