a day to drown

by vern

on my calender, I have marked the perfect day to drown. for the day I will drown will be the most tranquil of them all the ocean will be perfectly still, not a wave in sight. the moon high above will not pull the tide. the creatures in the sea will travel away. for the day I will drown will be the quietest of them all the world around me will watch in silence as I walk towards the center of the ocean and lie down to drown the only ripples will be from my steps for I have chosen to drown a choice of my own, not the ocean's my body will sink as if I'm drifting asleep my bed of water will slowly lower down to the bottom of the ocean for it is the perfect day to drown

Notes

I try to write with a meaning behind it, so when AP Lit classes read my random poems they can overanalyze them. This isn't about death, it's not about dying, even though that's one of the hashtags. It's just about finding peace of mind and calming down. It's about sinking away from problems. It's about sleeping and being calm. I'm just very drawn to the ocean and I love poems about water and the ocean.
