Sinking is simple.
Drowning is easy.
Rowing is hard.
Climbing into the boat -
that's kind of tricky,
especially when the wind is trying to convince you to swim instead.
Floating is a breeze;
you just need something to give you buoyancy,
but you'll never get anywhere that way,
and sharks are waiting underneath.
Sailing is difficult.
Navigating is complicated.
I just want to find an island
where my mind won't be confiscated.
Pirates are everywhere;
taxing and taking,
pillaging and breeding spawn who will grow up
feeding a corrupted captain whose name remains unknown.
I just want to find an island.
I just want a place to call my own.
A home.
