I am standing here all on my own, but I don't know what I'm looking for...
Am I waiting for someone?
Am I trying to do something?
I don't really know why I came here.
All I know is that I'm standing right on the edge of this cliff trying me best not to jump off of here.

Tired... So tired... So lonely... So far from everyone.

Oh! I remember now!

I wanted to let these birds out. I wanted to set them free. But... Why can no one set ME free? Should I jump? And set myself free from all of this? Or should I wait and see how much more can I take before it becomes extremely unbearable to even think about existing?

It looks nice from here... Everything looks like it's peaceful. I want to stay here. I don't want to go back to the real world. I think I'll be happier here on this cliff with nature surrounding me from every corner...

I'm falling... It's still peaceful... It feels like it'll take an eternity for me to reach my destination. Was this the right choice? Am I really doubting myself half way down from that cliff? No, I'm not...

I actually feel peaceful and happy for the first time in a long time.

Dear Earth, embrace your child with open arms cause I'm almost there...
