5 minutes from death

5 minutes from death
i look down at the puddle of blood
seeing in shades of black, white, and gray
the tourniquet on my arm no longer makes it throbs with loss of circulation
i feel is the life draining from my body
my mind rushes
i feel dizzy
room spinning
lights flashing
no body control
i couldnt scream even if i wanted to be saved
even if i did no one could save me
to close to death
this is what i wanted
to feel
the pain of almost being dead
so i would know for a few minutes
that at one point i was once alive because i knew to die you had to live
a sense of self satisfaction
will power
dont miss me

I am not going to kill myself, its just the thought of it

    I'm glad killing yourself is a part of you past instead of your future. It is an interesting thing to think about. Great write, and take care babe.

    Perfectly Expressed~

    I can understand what you're saying here..sometimes in life, we feel so numb, we feel we don't even exist..but to have a rush of blood pouring from your body, you could actually notice it was your own.. therefore you feel in that moment, even though in pain, you feel alive. Please never act on this. But again, the thought, I know well. Thanks for sharing here, and hang in there.

    Peace, Timothy aka poeticweaver~
