I Fear the ship is sinking

I am not one to keep a sinking ship afloat, nor am i one to captain a drowning crew. Sacrificing self for an inevitable end is a thirst never quite quenched. Surrounded by water, what is the point when it is filled with salt; sorrow and a disposition for the petty? Do not be the vain captain of a sinking ship. Narcissism and a need for control will strain relationships, give birth to dubious loyalty, the curse of blood is not the royalty you think it is. blood and debt is not enough to keep the ship afloat. Patch the holes present. Build boards that last; not ones diminished and impaired by fear, but ones repaired with words held dear, then maybe the ship may reach its destination… once adversary is clear.
