Something within me switches and I can’t focus on anything but staring into the water as one thought continuously plays on repeat in my mind. Jump. Jump. Jump, Jump. Jump.

*Echoes* My pain My sorrow Reverts back at me Like a house Without a thing. I tried filling it up with Joy And love but darkness still painted them black. Maybe I'm not meant For this; I mean Happiness and Love isn't meant for me. Sadness Darkness Is where I belong and maybe suicide would be the end of me.
