Oh dear, I fear this cocky ship’s sinking more each day
Abandoned by the oars, I’m following all the same
Good intentions won’t long keep these weathered boards afloat
Best chances of not drowning were safely staying home
Oh curse you waves! Your sharks need little excuse to feed
Cruel ocean gnaws at me for sailing carelessly

Nothing ventured nothing learnt. I like the part “safely staying home.” The assumption is that hiding away is the only option.

I’m really glad that came through! I feel like I have to remind myself of this truth often.
