How Do I Stay Soulful

How do I stay soulful, without seeming like a raging goddess? I would always be the raging sea, Don’t sail your boats or ships upon my waters! Expected to be slaughters, by my sharks The rough waves: and the haunted ghost slaves. You toss abroad, unlike the garage you scattered on my shore, I kept your secrets; at the bottom of ocean floor I sting your eyes, and bitter your taste: Rock your ships from side to side Yet, you smuggle my fish out to land: what a disgrace! A man would always be a man Why did you leave the dry land and sail the ocean blue You pirate! You luxury ocean liners: you liars Can you hold on to my waters? The laughter takes hold of you. I filled myself with rage, because of the things you do No safety nets…… ,
