Capsized

My mouth is shut

For I cannot watch it speak lie

I bought a ship and saw it capsize

Can I buy another from a shop?


She was adorable in all respect

Perfected with precious stone

Smooth and shiny, her skin tone

Her imperfection I solely accepted


But I was a disgusting pirate

I stupidly entertained greed

I made my sunset rage at me

And she took hold and sailed


To sail is not her forte

I was meant to guide this ship

Towards our hopes and dreams

But my pride was faulty


She wrecked the ship at night

And fled with the lifeboat

I found a board that floats

And swam tirelessly out of spite:


The water furiously pounced on me

It plunged me under its belly

It choked me so hard that I nearly,

I nearly began to see dreams


My breath was faint and shaky

Pale faced, I struggled and gave up

Suddenly, I was wrapped up

In an Island, I lay achy


I was utterly bewildered

I remorsefully retraced my paths

There I made an oath never to part:

"Focus and never wander"


And If I should find another;

A ship with the same potential

My oath shall become influential

Until my days are numbered
