Who Am I?
I don't belong. Not here. Not anywhere.
Who am I?
Do I belong above or down here? With the Olympians or here with the Underworld gods?
Who am I?
My parent's weren't meant to join together. Olympus' king and the Underworld's queen.
Who am I?
My lighter half always longs to be with my father, but my darker half begs to stay in the unerground.
Who am I?
Where do I belong? Wherever I go, I am cursed to be shunned by the gods.
Who am I?
I am not the darkness. I am not the light. I am only a shade of both.
Who am I?
I don't know where I belong. I don't know who I am. I don't know anything.
Please...Tell me...Who am I?
For those who don't know, Melinoe was the son of Persephone and Zeus, who had disguised himself as Hades to seduce her. She was born with half of her body being light and the other half being dark, representing her father and mother respectively. When I first found out about her, this was how I thought she must feel. Even if she was technically an Underworld goddess, that's not who she is fully. I doubt she would be accepted by Hades, who hated her father, and she would never be accepted by the majority of the Olympian gods, simply because of her connection with Hades. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading into this too much. I won't deny I've done that from time to time. What I think she felt and how she was actually represented could be completely different or completely the same considering I couldn't find much information. In any case, this is how I would fell in a situation like this. So I've got nothing else to say except that I hope this poem interested you in one way or another. Though I should probably just mention that I have never been very good at writing poetry.
