undeserving

This is it. This is the end.
How could anyone be so cruel?
I thought after I was slurred at
When everything I knew turned out to be false
When nobody cared
When everyone ignored me
What could be so wrong with me?
I thought as I walked up the stairs
When everything turned dark
When nobody cared
When everyone just spoke their minds
but didn't acknowledge my opinions
What could I have done to prevent this?
I thought as I reached the edge
The cement street 12 floors beneath me was so enticing
Alluring even, yearning for me
As I did for it as well
For a closure, an end to my miserable life
I chose to think for the last moments
What occurred in my life that I was proud of?
That I liked
Was I ever happy?
Did anyone ever want to be near me?
Was there ever someone who cherished me?
All those questions, bound together by an only answer,
No.
Was there a final straw?
"I don't know how I ever made you think I cared"
A small step towards the finish line
"You are undeserving of our love"
Another one, bigger this time
"You could jump off a building for all I care"
So I did.
