As I Lay Dying

As I lay dying,
My wrists slit,
Slowly bleeding out,
Gathering into
little puddles,
The very essence of
my life,
Now lies wasted on
the floor,
I wonder how did I
get to be here?
But I don't
remember,
Because my mind is a
haze,
Of lost memories,
That I'd rather not
remember,
As I descend into, 
The deep dark abyss
of nothingness,
I realize something,
I realized that I'm
not afraid to die,
I'm safe now,
I feel no pain,
As I descend further
into the abyss,
I think about my
family and friends,
It's only then that
I realize that I'll
be missed,
I realize how much
I'll miss them,
Now I regret the
choice I made,
I made a really
stupid decision,
To take myself away
from my family and
friends,
I realize now,
That I can't undo,
What I have done,
It's too late now,
I've crossed the
line of no return,
I finally stop
falling,
I've reached the
bottom of the abyss,
This is my final
goodbye...
So
goodbye...forever,
I fade into
nothingness,
I relax and let the
darkness consume me,

I'm sure that there is a lot of people who have felt this way, at one point I had felt like all hope was lost, and that the answer was suicide, lucky i was afraid and made it back to the real world safely. Your expressions are honest and real. keep writing it is very theraputic
