Pirate

if it cost me one eye
for the sight of the ravens
why yet am I seen steering the helm
amongst the ships at the havens?

like everyone, I've been fired across
a bullet, an arrow or rather a coin toss
will I be a hit or will I miss the mark?
I've found my pearl, so it matters naught

either way I must sail over this rock
