Talking the first step off the bus
She takes a deep breath
Starting the walk home
The thoughts rise to the surface
Tears stream down her face
She reaches for the key
Unlocking the door
And stepping inside
Dropping her bag
Upon the kitchen floor
She closes the door and locks it
No one will be around for hours
No one will be there to stop her
The tears continue to come
She goes to the fridge
Takes out the cake
She made it yesterday for today
Her birthday
She's turning 17
She has finally had enough
She gave up on everything
Eating a slice of cake
Then going to her step-dad's safe
After finding the numbers
Engraved into the wall behind it
28-45-03
Opening the safe
And seeing the thing that will end it all
17 years on this place
Many years of suffering
She just wants to end it
Grabbing what she needs
She walks into the living room
Wiping at her tear stained face
She sits on the carpeted floor
The thoughts still tearing away at her
She finally raises the gun
Placing it upon her right temple
Tears still escape
The thoughts still present
She counts down from 10
10...
She takes a deep breath
9...
8...
7...
She wipes away the tears
6...
5...
Another deep breath
4...
Finger on the trigger
3...
Another tear falls
2...
Her hand is no longer shaky
1...
She pulled the trigger
She's...
Gone...
