Drown Poem by gabby chamberland

I feel like my chest has sunk down to the floor
this has happened before
but I don't want to deal with it once more

I wish to simply sleep my problems away
slip into a dream
never to wake

I wish for one day
where I have the power, the authority
to pick my chest up off the floor
and carry it away

walk to a lake
sink to the bottom
an silently drown
I don't want to feel the weight of the ground
only water

come caress me down
I would like to drown
drown my hopes
my fears
the passing of the years
I wish to drown

I will
to drown
to drown
to drown

So

I drown.
