I am terrifying and misunderstood.
I wonder why people despise my existence.
I hear shrieks of terror when I come near.
I see other animals loved and cared for.
I want people to know that I am not a monster.
I am terrifying and misunderstood.
I pretend that all people and animals are equal.
I feel humans disturbing my home.
I touch the sea floor, wondering if I’ll ever be at peace here.
I worry every day that I will be killed for no good reason.
I cry when I see my friends and family murdered.
I am terrifying and misunderstood.
I understand that sharks have killed people before.
I say, “Soon, people will realize that we are not all evil.”
I dream that some day, I won’t be loathed by most humans.
I try to understand why everything is my fault, but I can’t.
I hope that one day, people will realize they are a large part of the problem.
I am terrifying and misunderstood.
