Is That All You Got?

April 8, 2016

On a barren island

with nowhere in sight

I chose my item wisely

So I can overcome the night

I chose the modest book

"How to build a Raft"

So I can escape

With a boat that I craft

Many days I toil

Over this here ship

With blood sweat and tears

I begin by long trip

I sail for long months

With no food or drink

I might become thirsty

But my mind will stay quick

The fish might be fast

And the sharks will be cruel

But after a long day of trying

I get food for fuel

Now strengthened am I

From the tender juicy fish

Now the only thing

Is for land, I wish

Months have passed

And I hunger no more

As I see over the horizon

A city on the shore

As I row like a bull

With the strength I do feel

The waves might be strong
