Nothing to keep me from the storm

Once word leaks out that a pirate has gone soft, people begin to disobey you, and then it's nothing but work, work, work all the time.

lay me down—let the only sound be the overflow—

They tell me that the journey is what matters, that the destination is secondary, that you should take the time to appreciate the moments that lead you to where you want to go.

I can't agree, because the journey is just a means to an end, really. If you are blocked in some fashion, you reroute, because the destination is your objective, not enjoying whatever journey you had planned.

Until I reach my destination, whenever that may be, the journey is a clock ticking, marking off the moments until I get what I want. Nothing more than that.
