The one who is abandoned,

Is the one who will betray

All his friends and family,

And throw his life away.

The only family he had,

Was the one he'd left behind

But his eagerness for revenge,

Had made him completely blind.

They gave him excuses,

When he only wanted love,

So misunderstood,

By the immortal gods above.

In the end he decided

That revenge was the manner

In which he would definitely

Get back at his father.

He fought for the enemy

that his friends fought against,

With every strike of his sword

Was the guilt that he sensed,

Before he gathered himself again

And rose to his own defense.

What he was doing was right,

Bringing the gods down.

There wouldn't be others like him

If they weren't around.

No feeling of being left

Alone to survive,

No feeling of no one caring

Whether or not they were alive.

But soon he began to realize

That this wasn't the way;

He had killed innocent people,

And let them suffer and pay

For something they hadn't done

But were blamed for anyway.

Finally, he sacrificed

Himself to do what was right,

And would always be remembered

As the hero who ended the fight.


In memory of Luke Castellan, the hero who sacrificed himself to save Olympus.
