It all goes from here, my dear.
Words of advice you've heard more than twice,
And sounds of cliche that people just had to say to you
When you thought that the earth was built solely for your mirth 
And the sole gravitation was you.
Well let me just utter that although we all matter -
No one really does so be gone with your fuss,
As you're not the first, and though your mind may contrast,
You certainly will not be the last to feel 
like you're roaming, alone and unknowing.
Life's ship needs sailing so desist with complaining
and if you suddenly think you can't stand anymore
just calm your mind and think back to before, 
when so many others have wrangled the oar.
Now grab the deck as you're in for one hell of a trek,
But it's OK because when the ship's a wreck
Just blame the captain
He's just a man
And though he can't
No one else can.
Because this is his toy, 
his life,
his buoy,
And when he sees the waves tumbling too fast he doesn't stumble and gasp,
But beckons his past,
Thinks momentarily "c'est la vie,"
takes hold of the mast and in the master's hands they fall.
But they question remains 
As to whether they all burn on the gully,
Or raise the dancing flames 
Above the sails
For all cynical spectators to watch
the phoenix of his 
Failures.
