everything encourages me 

everything improves me  

while I sail on these hardships 

with a crew of reprobates 

 

we make meaning 

making sense of everything

casting our nets wide

over a sea of metaphors and clichés

 

I keep working on myself 

a body of perfection

cuts tumors and scars 

polised to a fine finish 

 

I'd do the same for you

I’m completely selfless 

as the storm brews 

I take your coffee
