Not too long ago there was a song written about the king Odysseus. This song was written by readers of The Odyssey, these are the people that see the wrong side of me. This song does not help my road to recovering; it is titled My Life Really Sucks. Every verse of the song has a new idea in it, a reason why Odysseus’s life is not as good as he wished it could be. There are some reasons I am not aware of, being present at sea and not following Odysseus’s every move. But what I do know of is in verse 2, the song (being through the eyes of Odysseus) talks of how I make his life suck. The main thing of what I could comment on those lyrics is that I can’t blame him; I have made his life at sea a living hell. The first line, Poseidon starred at me, could be a way of saying that he can’t go out to sea without me watching his every move.

The second line, while I was out at sea, continues on that same idea. Then the violence begins with his words describing what happens, saying first, He blew a bunch of debris, which to me seems like an understatement. And this, for the last line, And put my ship under sea, tells the listener the outcome: being swept under the sea. This makes me feel horrible about my brutal actions, and makes me want to apologize. I think it might be a good step for me, pushing me forward, and having a hard copy of these actions, which hurts others. Even though he blinded my son, he is also human.

All human beings are stupid and make mistakes, they should be forgiven. But what I don’t want to have happen is that I forgive him, we make peace, and I am lonely good guy, who is not forgiven by his fellow gods. I have a lot of brutal power, but power to make myself better all alone? I don’t think I can push myself forward without the help of my brothers and sisters, my fellow Gods, and everyone else. I have never asked for true supports in the past because it is something my powerful self does not have need of, i only need help is desperate situations, like this one. No one can imagine themselves in my situation because with having so much power comes a lot of self-need, and having a lot of needs, the power lets me solve the problems by myself.

What I would hate, be nervous, and scared for would be the other Gods laughing at me, or being intimidated by me and running off. I would hate that, I hope they get this message, and have a positive response. This might be one of the first things I really wanted for good, and I hope they can see that in me.

Thanks for listening!
