"I Am Odysseus"

I am Odysseus.
Sailing through life,
  fighting through hardships
  placed by my Posiedon.
Through it all I fight.
I continue through
  the taunts and bullying,
  not letting them pull me down
  with the waves.

I am Odysseus.
Staying with friends,
  my Hermes.
With their molu, I stay the same,
  not changing who I am,
  being myself.

I am Odysseus.
I become stuck with my calypso.
My sadness,
  the feeling of loss,
  how it imprisons me.
I am saved by my Hermes though,
  as they bring a smile to my face.

I am Odysseus.
I get off course sometimes,
  but parents and teachers guide me.
My Athena,
  Aeolus,
  and Tieresies.
I always manage to find my Ithica again.
