white noise

sitting by the sea, 

i wonder what it'd be 

to drown with huge rocks 

tied to your legs 

that lead you down into 

the dark abyss of nothingness... 


won't it feel the same 

as carrying the burden 

of your past with you?

if you don't know how to swim, 

won't drowning be an ideal way 

to end all the pain?


will the water that rises up my nose 

and blocks my breathing, be kind enough to 

knock me unconscious or 

will I kick my legs and 

wave my arms frantically 

and struggle to breathe? 


will i take that effort 

at all to survive? or 

will i surrender my body 

to the force of water? 

is my life worth being saved? 


they say  deep underwaters 

isolate you from the background noise 

can it also isolate me 

from the incessant white noise of my past 

that is plaguing my mind and my present? 

will it calm the chaos that i carry within?


there is only one way to find out...
