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
