To Take Without Asking

Winds whip past my tossled hair,
Anxious eyes sat back t'wards land
Breathing in the sweet sea air
Sword still clutched tightly in my hand
My heart races as the adrenaline dies
And I walk to to the front of the ship
Eyes raised heavenward to colorful skies
My stomach from the chase continued to flip
Stolen treasures low beneath deck
Hidden from sight from any man
I'd hidden them well, there's no need to check,
We'd make it safely to new land
Once I knew we were far from the shore
I managed to relax and clean my sword
I sigh as I find it more soiled than before
New things with this friend I'd come to explore
Suddenly all things went black
As one had attacked from behind
I should have expected some sort of attack
I wondered why it hadn't come to mind
My own hands tied, bound in chains
My mouth was gagged in dirty sheets
Now my rebellious will is all that remains
As I watch the coming of opposing fleets
I struggled in anger as they finished up
They'd found the treasures i'd hidden so well
From diamonds, gold, and expensive syrups
They took it all, for keeps and sell
They pulled me around and laughed in my face
Messed with my hair and teased
They'd killed all my companions in their own disgrace
In their accomplishments they did seem pleased
Once they finished with taking all
They made sure I was still tied up tight
Overboard they pushed, and I did fall
My eyes were closed, Now black as night
I did not yell and i did not scream
As I plunged to the depths of the bottomless sea
I instead went in dignity
I would not let them see fear in me
So is my life, taking without asking
I had all I wanted whenever I chose
So ended my life, taken without asking
All is fair, I would suppose

I had wondered as I read where you were going with this poem... I think it takes the reader right to the finish line. Very well done.
