Voyage

Voyage

Captain of my own ship in the ocean of life,
I’ll never rush the voyage,
I am a master of time.
My focus is sharper than the edge of a knife,
My vision impervious to the darkness of night.

Both hands on the helm, I am in full control,
The compass of my mind shows me the way to go.
My thoughts are my cardinal points, so I choose them wisely,
Lest I find myself just sailing wildly.

In the face of rough weather, I remain unfazed,
Completely unbothered by the height of the waves.
Despite all difficulties I carry on,
I let no forces change my direction.
Navigating the waters with absolute precision,
I have no doubts about my destination.

Northwards is the way,
I head there dreaming of a brighter day.
In an unexplored land,
Greatness awaits.
The opinions of others carry no weight,
So let them say whatever they may,
After all, I am the one in charge of my fate.
