It would be so easy. Just one step and it all would end. I can almost see the ground getting closer.

But somehow. I can't. I can't look off this roof and know what I would be leaving behind.

My family.

My friends.

Her.

Him.

Me.

I'd be leaving me. Everything I have worked hard for. Everything I've gone through would be pointless.

It's hard. Life. But the ground is harder. Death is harder.

I can't because my life matters. Maybe not to everyone. But it matters to some. It matters to me.

If I do it. If I fall. Then they fall too. Everyone. Everyone I ever cared about. I would hurt them. I won't.

So I can't.

Some pain is worth it. If it means saving others from it.

Right?

It'd be so easy. Just one step and it all would end.

But I don't want it to end. Not yet.
