Sometimes I feel like a jellyfish,
In appearance I look harmless.
But once someone gets close,
I cause pain like I’m heartless.

Unable to change my venomous sting,
I choose to swim alone.
Avoiding any pain I may bring,
I seek comfort in my home.

Hoping one day I’ll die away,
Fading into nothing more.
Letting all my memories decay,
This merciless ocean & all.

Needing to escape my curse,
The infamous Irukandji syndrome.
Putting my emotions first,
Looking for a cure on my own.

Knowing is hopeless to live,
Finding something that could never be found.
Confused with what I could give,
Wishing I could sink underground.

Wishing some prey would kill me now,
From continuing this lifeless vision.
Floating lower down,
To a place my pain could no longer be given.

Life of a jellyfish is my hidden prison,
My tentacles is my bars.
I strike fear to all whenever their fishing,
Afraid I may leave them scars..
