Insert worthy title here.

A hopeless romantic with a knack for one night stands he was a walking contradiction.
Praying for the extraordinary
But swimming daily in the mundane

He swore he was the captain of his fate
and captain he was
But his steering led him to washed up shores and broken sails

Defeat
A word spoken often from tear stained lips
His distaste for sympathy and lack of empathy left him as someone often alone
and rarely receiving help

His writing was tragic
His songs stained with the prints of his mistakes
"What a failure"
He whispered often to the reflection that he struggled to glance at...

The concept of pain
The thing that some fight through, seeking for victory on the other side
While others get lost
Drowning
Not knowing that they have the power to fight
Or simply not being able to

He's the latter
The nameless man
Strong but unaware of his strength
Lost.

He swore he was the captain of his fate
And captain he was.
