the ship that sinks every night

Misplaced rage cuts deep in many a way

One must be wary of the words you say

Even intoxicated curses sting in pain

She creeps wearily still not seeing clearly

To choose between the hell she knows

Or an apparent mirage in reality

I am not the uncontrolled rage that sometimes boils at the surface

I am the shaman fighting to ensure it is something productive

99 battles out of 100 I win

Sometimes that one battle is damage enough to sink

A ship with a captain who is afraid of having to go down with it
