Captain Of Your Ship

Do you set sail, or do you bail?

All of us are captains with our own ship,

in a life just as short as a holiday trip

Having no real idea of why this earth exists,

only thinking that before & after us, it still persists

Your ship can be fast & strong or be like a small raft,

It all depends on the time you spend on your craft

If you put in the blood, sweat & tears,

your ship might scare away all of your fears

Some captains like to sail more than others,

and why not? Because in the end, there is no one who really bothers

But know that once you set sail,

you shouldn’t give yourself the opportunity to bail

Because as soon as you’re on your way,

there is no reason to waste another day

Don’t expect the ocean to always be calm, and remember,

the journey is not about being cozy and warm

Sometimes the ship might even sink, but don’t think,

’Cause you can still swim, even if it all seems dark & grim

There is no importance in the destination,

but life is an invitation to exploration

So go ahead before you drown,

and you’re forever down.
