"I want to die!" they all scream, but I just stand there in silence.  "Slit your throat!" "Hang yourself!" "Drown in your bathtub!" they go on, but I just stand there in silence.  One voice, the quietest, has the most meaning ever; however.  "Let go," its soft wispier hides beneath all the screams.  I then say aloud, "I wish I could," as I step towards the edge and let my self go over as I fall in silence.
