Before anyone panics, I wrote this poem long ago... It's dark and rather depressing, but *I* thought it was pretty good. No worries everyone, I'm not feeling this way right now... just sharing. :)

Lost, Drowning, Suffocating- Feeling death's cold hand upon my back.

Not afraid- I'd welcome Death and his sweet caress.

Alas, Waking up in cold sweat- Realizing it's all a dream.

But what if it weren't? What if I were dead?

An end to pain, an end to fear- a paradise I long for.

Too afraid to call upon Death myself, too tired to continue to live.

I wish, I hope, I pray- Let life end, let me find Death's embrace.

I dream nightly of the time when Death comes for me,

I shall welcome Him with open arms. Crazy? Maybe.

All still, a release from pain Death would be.

I can't help it. I wish I was Dead.

Samantha, it IS a good poem, very dark. But I'm glad it was long ago, not today. We need you around, girl!

I relate to this a little bit. Especially depressing when you know what it actually feels like...i'm sorry you have experienced this. Sometimes it's good to remember how bad it was and keep it in a dark light though to remind yourself why you should never go back.
