I thought I was your average kid,
Except I always stood out.
I caused havoc everywhere,
All the villagers would shout.
For I wasn't really average,
I was the son of the God Zeus.
Reason behind me being unusual,
I didn't have screws loose.
So I went to find my place,
And I would impress my dad.
I had to prove my worth,
To prove I wasn't mad.
Find a man, Philoctetes,
Who turned out to be half goat
Trainer of heroes,
On me he did not dote.
Training was so gruelling
I had to get through.
So I succeeded
Just to prove to you.
I went out trying to help,
People weren't that sure.
I defeated a hydra,
People found my lure.
I was welcomed as a hero,
Solving problems big and small
Engraved onto stone
Statue 20 feet tall
Still I was not happy,
I could not figure out why.
I had super human strength,
But yet I still could die.
Then I met a Grecian Beauty,
By the name of Meg
Though she was so lovely,
For me she did not beg.
Me she grew to love,
She sacrificed her life.
She slowly began to fade,
Her life cut by a knife.
I went to get her soul,
To the Underworld I went.
There I again met Hades,
Best wishes were not sent.
So displeased to see me,
That he sought to kill.
But retrieve Meg's soul I did,
Proved I was strong of will.
To Meg I returned her life,
I had earned my place.
For I only had to save one,
Not the entire human race.
I was welcomed as a hero,
And I could join their world.
My parents or my Meg,
I decided to stay with my girl.
