Chapter 1: Percy

A/N: Okay, so this is a new thing I'm doing. Every chapter is a poem about one of the 7 heroes. Most of them will be downers, just warning you.

A child of the sea

You're so powerful

And dangerous

How many times

Have you hurt someone

Because of that?

How many times

Have you risked the world

To save one friend?

How many enemies have you made?

You've gone through a lot in your sixteen years

When are you going to break?

You might say

Never.

I'm perfectly happy.

But underneath your skin are cracks

Made because you've seen too much

Fought too many

And one day it's going to be too much

People expect so much of you

After all,

You've saved the world

Several times

But you want to tell them

I'm not always the hero

I can't defeat everything

I'm not perfect

And one day

They'll all see

You're right

Because in order to defeat something big,

Something needs to give way

Good luck, Hero of Olympus

A/N: Depressing, right? That's the point of this fanfic, though. So if you don't like, don't read. And remember to review! I love reviews :)

And tell me which hero to do next! I'll let you guys choose.

- Tamale girl

Oh and by the way, try to guess WHO Tamale is! It's the name of someone, I didn't just randomly include a weird food in my pen name. ;)
