You charted my waters as you saw best,
Rode my calms, claimed it was your test.
But you turned left, leaving me bereft,
Even then, I tried to make your journey cleft.

That displeased you too; aloof, you became,
Frustrated by confusions you couldn't name.
Blaming me for the course you chose to stray,
Yet still, you take my gifts while casting me away.

But my tides are done bearing your weight,
I’m sick of your burdens, your fickle state.
So now, I'll rise, no longer meek,
You cursed my calm; now feel what I speak.

I'll hurl the boulders you once threw,
Drag you down deep, and show you too
The cruel depths of my storming heart—
Overwhelm you, tear you down and apart.

No more will you know the peace I once gave,
Now feel the wrath of my vengeful wave.
I am the Ocean, your lifeline, your bane—
I can gift you life, or drown you in pain
