and you are a tempest you are
sixteen and you are exploding
and you are lost and you are falling
in the sky
did you want to be a hero?
i don't think you ever
wanted to be a hero
[sitting
wishing
falling]
[little] boy
grow up,
grow up
please
this world here don't need
|another| flying boy
let peter pan wait awhile
make your m/a/r/k
fly into the sky until you cry please go try
tempests can go to hell, please
the gods have all their heroes,
already, c'mon
it ain't like you can replace all these lists;
percy jackson
annabeth chase
thalia grace
leo valdez
piper mclean
frank zhang
hazel levesque
nico di angelo
whoops. well, jason isn't there, is it?
[saving grace
they say,
but all you've saved is your own life
selfish selfish selfish
just like your father]
you are a tempest
and you are exploding
and you are bad choices
you are eruptions
you are the coming wind the
seething snow
the violence
in the rain
{you are the storms that are starting now}
for the querencia war games; (word) tempest. and also the point project.
