Jellyfish

I am a drifting Jellyfish
    my hopes are none to all

I love a place and a time
    the current rips it from me

I have no home, I have no constant
    variables fill my mind

I cannot show what I love
    but really it's a given

All I want is a stable home
    no movement in my waters

The selfish Sea only sees it's self
    one day I will be gone

Beware you selfish Ocean
    my defense is my sting

Nice descriptive set of couplets. In the first line of the sixth verse, "it's self" is really only one word that can be presented as "itself". Everything else looks good.
