You said angels can fly, so I jumped.

I looked out into the stars and saw myself. One among many just trying to shine the brightest, but in the end just blending in to help others and die out into a beautiful oblivion. I thought about all the pain in the world and how hard life is. I thought about the trees out in front of me and why I was smoking a cigarette and holding a bottle of vodka. I thought about why I had come here to this ledge, and I thought about whether I had helped anyone in my life or if I was just a wasted space. I thought about the love I needed and how I had never gotten it. I thought about my mom and how terrified she'd be to find me gone in the morning, and whether my father would even care. Then, as soon as the thoughts started, they stopped. That's how I knew it was time.
