Running Water -5minutefreewrite

A naughty mermaid came to my house unexpectedly
She was stubborn and a bit callous, she said angrily:

"I was thrown away from my home at the ocean"
I am a wandering soul waiting for my redemption"

What business are you doing here bringing disruption?!
From what hole did you crawled from the ocean?!

"I will make the pipe explode, causing running water
I will make you regret, you unwelcoming mother"

"I look for my friends, from house to house running
Never missed my family, never a part of anything"

"Am I an outcast, hysterically screaming?
Am I the regret that sets everyone running?"

"I miss the water, the breezing air on my shoulders
Jumping to the deep sea, shaking my tails in motions"

"The ocean was my home, now I am a ghost flying
Exploding pipes in houses for giggling and prying"

"For once to be heard, I sang a song yesterday praying
To bring back my friend once and for all, begging"

"Alas I am an outcast, no one hears my lousy confession
I need to matter, I need my friend in this sour depression"

"I retired from being a siren, that job was surely demanding
I redeemed myself, I wanted to break free to be commanding"

"ha ha ha", I heard her laughing and then vanishing
I was left with the running water on my floor, standing

My draft turned into a poem and I polished it a bit and this is the result. I hope you enjoyed reading this poem.
