Great White Shark

The great white shark,
with its white under belly,
floats across the great sea.
With my gills of steel,
and fins of iron.
I am but a fish,
with a temper.
I'm sorry
But everyone else,
see's me as a nutcase.
A human killing,
seal pup eating,
bastard. 
I'm sorry
Its kind of how I eat,
and I'm sorry if it disturbs you.
As if I'm the only danger to you, 
out here in the ocean.
I'm sorry
I know I'm one to be feared,
because when you float out into my swimming pool,
I could take a sample bite, at any time.
But really,
I'm not here to eat you.
I don't want to hurt you.
But can I take just a little nibble? 
I'm sorry
I really am.
But you need to trust me,
and stop believing I'm just here to kill you.
