Dying Poem by James McLain

For those of you whom can't go on but must.
And the very few who will.
Do not be afraid to step out into the light.
It feels like right before you fall asleep at night.
You start to feel the darkness,
but it isn't scary
and you're not completely aware of what goes on.
Then all at once you're gone
and you didn't even realize you have slipped away.
When you wake up from it,
everything's hazy
and confusing and that is when you know.
