Artemis vs Neptune

Peace is elusive

Life is worse than death

Damn the Gods and the torpedoes

What is worse, heaven or hell

I want the world to end so that I can be alone

Never feeling lonely is not a burden or fear

Loneliness is the cure to what ails me

My truth is stranger than fiction life,

Is apparently never ending itself

I prayed to God night after night,

When I was a child and quite slight,

But the God of my hopes and dreams

Never answered me

And every New Years Eve

Became a nightmare to me

For a New Year meant nothing to me

Because my hopes and dreams were from a pipe

Just puffs of smoke in a winters night

I knew that I would never feel significant

So I always longed to be alone

At an age no longer considered that of youth

I am still haunted by voices of truth

And at this advanced age

I have finally accepted that

Truth and Justice are not the same

I thought those two words encompassed me

Each being a part of my name

Given to me by a father who knows no shame

A liar and a thief the betrayer of my heart

His name is Charles Atlas Neptune

And I am Artemis Michelle Zeus

He and I are in a battle

Which was once simply a battle of wits

Well I am at my wits end King of the Sea

Please stop your nonsense

Signed one who is not lesser than you

Your Daughter Ariel

No longer a little mermaid, merman
