All the Colors of the Rainbow

Relief

I had decided to kill myself on a Thursday.

Looking back on it, I realize how I should have cried. I should have been terrified.

But instead, I was calm.

In fact, I had felt the happiest I'd been in months.

Or maybe it wasn't happiness I had felt. Maybe it was nothing at all. Maybe it was just because I had been numb for so long.

Or maybe it was relief.
