'Listen' has the exact same letters as 'Silent'. Coincidence?

Insomnia, an original poem by PoetryGrrrl

on May 30, 1996

fastest tide
sweeping away
holds me
under
I drown
in your depths
cannot breathe
nor do i want to
then rise above
into,
the wind
carries me
to this
i cannot sleep.

(*some things never change. I still can't sleep. which is perhaps why I'm bothering archiving my crappy primitive teenage poetry instead of just burning it.*)
