Our generation of demigods will be known for nothing

Never will anybody say

We were the peak of mankind

That is wrong, the truth is

Our generation of demigods was a failure

Thinking that

We actually succeeded

Is a waste. And we know

Living only for money and power

Is the way to go

Being loving respectful and kind

Is a dumb thing to do

Forgetting about that time we fought for all the lives in the world

Will not be easy, but we will try

Changing our world for the better

Is something we never did

Giving up on the gods

Was how we handled our problems

Working hard

Was a joke

We knew that

People thought we couldn't come back after Percy disappeared

That might be true

Unless we turn things around

(now read this bottom to top)

i am part of a lost generation of demigods

and i refuse to belief that

i can change the world

i realize this may be a shock but

happiness comes from within

is a lie, and

power will make me happy

so in 30 years i will tell my childeren

they are not the most important thing in my life

my employer will know that

i have my priorities straight because

work

is more important than

family

i tell you this

once upon a time

families stayed together

but this will not be true in my era

this is a quick fix society

experts tell me

30 years form now, i will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce

i do not concede that

i will live in a world of my own making

in the future

environmental destruction will be the norm

no longer can it be said that

my peers and i care for these gods

it will be evident that

my generation of demigods is Apathetic and lethargic

it is foolish to presume that

there is hope

and all of this will come true unless we choose to reverse it

I lost light

And didn't accept that

I am a son of Hades

refuse to open up my heart

To tell people not to

Come close to me

Instead,

Close me off

So that they won't

Hurt me

I won't let friends

Take over my life

Your love did

And it killed me.

I lost all hope

And I won't say

I found the light.

I was never afraid of the dark, but afraid of never finding the light again.

I didn't.

I let the darkness consume me

People told me that

The only way to find happiness is to battle.

I made my own choice
