Continuosly, i saw at that thread of steel knowing it's useless. Visions of hurt and torture overflow me, doubt for my future sucks me dry. I drift until i reach the edge of a grassy cliff. Looking down, fog shields my veiw, increasing the terror and curiousity inside my shakened body. Friendly voices fill my head telling me to jump. i squeeze my eyes closed soaking my shirt in salty tears. I must be free of my past, but will jumping save me?
