Angelfish

I'm starting fresh again, and I'm a different wave,
in this sea of murky water and revenge, regret and fear
I no longer want to save anyone not worth saving
and I'll start behaving because the waters running clear.
Like the flow of the pump in my fish aquarium that I like to sit and look,
the water's being filtered and if you took energy from me, or simply shook the tank,
I forgive you and I know now it's you I gotta thank.
You're teaching me lessons that my soul is learning,
and I'm earning my place in the world, or in the next.
Things are gonna drag you under which you can't really expect.
But I'm gonna rise above it, above sea level,
won't be disheveled and not let the abuse make me more confused,
I'm gonna be the Angelfish and I'm gonna stop being used.
People see into my reef and coral, lack the morals,
then I have a thief in my bank account, my body, my time,
you start making me acidic because of the tank amounts of lime.
 The waters are dangerous and I'm a direct victim of the ripple effect
and you can't swim with me.
The school of little fishes leave nasty little wishes and swim together away
and back to their bitter pool.
 If you didn't stay with me,
and had harsh words to say to me
 then you are the fool.
Because the sands of time are settling, at the bottom of the sea,
and I am a good person, and it was you clouding it for me!
Nobody deserves to be stung by my sting, and it's not something I am proud of,
But I don't need you crowding my lake of tranquil submersion.
This is the conversion of me.  No more negativity.  Just gonna leave it be.
I'm going to breathe underwater and just be born a daughter new.
 I'm done with your fishing nets, I don't need you.
