I walked out onto the balcony and looked at the stars for the last time. I realize that everything I do in these last few minutes I will be doing for the last time. Nothing will be the same. Not after this. Not anything, but... I can't do this any longer. I can't live like this. I can't be a walking burden anymore. So I ran back inside. Terrified of my thoughts. Shrinking in cowardliness. But I wrote the noted out anyways. Sometimes I write them just to come up with a reason to stay, but this time... I couldn't.. I couldn't find a good reason not to jump, so.. I went back out onto the balcony and stepped over the railing, and onto the very edge of the platform. Just... Jump. I think to myself, but I just stand there. Not a movement made. What a coward I am. "You really wanna jump?" I hear someone yell from below.

I don't even look down to see who it is. I just let go of the railing behind me and fall, and that fall seems to take forever but there is a feeling of relief over me as I realize that I won't be in pain anymore. That its over. That its going to be okay, and that is when I hit the ground, and blackness. Terrifying blackness
