less of an island
and
more of a
ship

moving steadily
across the
vastness of the
seas

less of a loner
and
more of an entire
crew within one
man

needless of others,
and thus,
not needing them
at all

I am captain,
first mate,
helmsman,
and
cook

I do everything I need
and everything I want

I lay anchor
only to get that which
I cannot provide
myself

like love, personality,
and sanity
