When I first jumped off the edge I thought I made a mistake.

Halfway I felt regret.

Five feet from impact all I felt was acceptance and calmness.

I don’t hate the water.

I embrace it.

Water rushes in my ears and that’s all I can hear.

I try to open my eyes but the salt burns them.

Instinct kicks in for me to breath and I inhale.

That was a mistake.

I open my mouth because I need air.

Instead the saltiness of the ocean water rushes in.

My eyes open now.

My time has come.

Remember me for who I was not what I became.
