Prologue

          Sometimes I feel as if I’m walking beside the edge.  Like one good push will send me over.  Fall down so far, you never get back up.  I don’t want that to be me, yet that seems to be my fate. 

          Nothing helps.  Your friends don’t tell you you’re pretty until you show up looking like them.  Hair, make-up, those things don’t give you confidence; they let you hide behind them like a mask.

          When I’m alone, I can’t stop the bad thoughts from creeping in and seeing no other alternative. 

          I tried to fight, but I’m weak.  Suicide was not my first choice.  But it’s the only option I can see that I have left. 

          I’m sorry, Mom, Dad and Claire

          I’m sorry, Celia, Danielle, and Mia. 

          Good-bye,

          Alexandria Mitchell
