I've been asking myself this question for what feels like so long, ever since the thoughts got bad.  I took another step, my toes being just over the edge. I was just so tired, I've been thinking of this for months and now I'm finally here. That was all I needed before stepping off.

I woke up.
I wish more than ever that for once, it wasn't just a dream.
