No bars. No dogs. No guards.
But it is still prison.
Of a different kind.
Of course, it is my fault that I got caught. Perhaps, deep down . . . I wanted to get caught. Maybe, I am sick of running. Ran away from my home, my friends, and myself. Ha! That is a laugh. I never knew myself. My dear "Father" made sure of that. I always had to hide and always had to wear a different face to suit a different purpose. I have been wearing these faces for so long. It is almost like I forgot who I am. It seemed to me...I made myself a self made prison.
Hades! Here I go again...
Talking about prisons.
Think something positive like hunting, tracking, eating good food, pretty girls, and prison. Hades! It is that word again! Why can I get it out of my head?
Ugh...I give up. I am NOT going to prison. I am going to the Academy. A school for rich kids. Oh, Hades! This is a prison. How I am going to fit in? I can do it. I just blend into the group. I has done it on the streets long enough. Who was he kidding? The rich kids already know my history. I am going to be a target. All need is a bull-eye paint on my chest. Of course, those rich kids could not survive a week on streets. They don't know what it liked to be hungry and dirty. The rain does not help. The dirt just returned and it seemed to bring brothers. You are always cold and never warm even when you find shelter. You always worry that you are going to get caught and get thrown out on those cold streets. It is funny. With everything I know and learned, where I am going …does that knowledge really made?
I am almost there.
Nice looking place if you ask me.
No bars, no dogs, and no guards.
It is still prison.
Time to slipping on another face.
Time to go into a prison of my own making.
The End
A/N: I left Hercules out on purpose. The tv and tv movie sort of confuse me. So, I made no references to either of them. ::Shrugs.:: This was fun to write. I hope you enjoy it. :)
