the last day
i had planned this for months
maybe years
it had to be today otherwise it wouldnt be right
i knew how it would go
after all, i have planned my death for a while
nobody noticed the signs
nobody noticed how i stopped caring about things i used to love
nobody saw me anymore
it was sunset and i was running
running to what some would call doom
running to what i call freedom
freedom from rules and expectations
i get to choose how this part of my life goes, that's true freedom to me
i had been watching the sunsets lately
its how i decided what time i would do it
the sunset would be my last view and it would be gorgeous
one last beautiful view before i can finally breathe
some would probably call me a quitter
a coward
selfish
i call myself brave
brave to accept that i cannot change anything
brave to make my own choice
brave to not let society make the choice for me
i am brave
and i am f

down
but now i am free
and i am happy.
