Forged In Fire
The great Hephaestus forged my heart from fire
Granting me eyes like beautiful sapphire
My body was molded like molten steel
With heat in my heart to show how I feel
Aphrodite blessed my spirit with grace
Even if I don't always appreciate my face
Zeus granted me lightning reflexes
So I can travel to life's nexus
Hades found within me a fear of death
But assured me peace in my final breath
Born in America my heart resides in Greece
Where my spirit yearns for release
I am but a distortion of the gods who created me
Placed on this very earth for you all to see
And my biggest desire is simply to find my place
And people who will smile when they see my face
