My lungs respond, but there's no air, <br /> As I struggle to survive, <br /> It hurts to know that they don't care, <br /> Whether or not I stay alive. <br /> <br /> The world is growing dark now, <br /> As I drift toward the light. <br /> I want to cry out somehow; <br /> If I had the strength, I might. <br /> <br /> I feel like I am falling, <br /> Into a great abyss. <br /> I hear past loved ones calling, <br /> As I taste Death's tender kiss. <br /> <br /> Finally, I have found some peace; <br /> My soul is God's to keep. <br /> I have finally gained release, <br /> By slipping into endless sleep.<br /><br />Katherine Grams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/endless-sleep/
