A loud noise echoes inside my head,
but the last sound I hear
is the sound of my brain
splattering on the wall behind me
as the gun leaves my hand
and my body hits the floor.

I watch as blood flows from my wrist.
I lay my head back,
my vision goes dark,
my eyes close,
and the knife falls from my hand
to the ground.

I look down and step off the edge.
The air rushes by me
like wind through the trees.
My life passes before my eyes,
a horrible life, but,
in a few seconds,
it will all be over.

I drop the pills into my hand,
I’m sure it will be enough.
I toss them into my mouth
and wash them down with water.
I lay down and wait
for the poison to do its work.
