A pirate loves the water
Floating on through the ocean
The gentle rock of the boat
Calms him
But all “nice” things
Must come to an end
His ship
Goes through storms
Almost daily
With the rain and the wind
Rocking his ship
Back and forth
He tries to steer through
The big waves
Of mood swings
The treacherous lightning
Of insults
But gets hit with them
By force
The waves crash onto
The deck of his ship
Cracking the wooden floors
But he treads forth
Stubbornly
Despite the storm
He moves forth
Keeping his head up
When no one else did
Despite the harsh weather
Nearly killing him
Then when the sun arises
And the storm clouds drift away
And the waves calm
He made it through
The storm
Barely
