She cuts herself. Never too deep, never enough to die. But enough to feel the pain, enough to feel the scream inside.

I thought you were the one, I gave you everything. Yet you threw me away. You got what you wanted out of me, then left. Now here I sit at the top of my cliff feeling empty, wondering why do I bother fighting to stay when no one wants me. My own family wants me to disappear. Maybe I should take everyones advice and let myself slip off this cliff. I feel the sea breeze against my face, it's like a whisper, like a hand, pulling me closer to the edge. I let out my last breath and let the hand pull me in. Slipping under the surface, never to be seen again, I finally have found my peace. Have you?
