Achilles MAG
Achilles, how did it feel to be strong?
to be under that weight for so long?
did you feel relief when it caught your heel?
did it feel almost too good to be real?
Achilles, why would you take such a burden?
your journey through hell gave you such a hard shell
forged through the fire and broken
you wore your heart on your heel
Was it your mother who begged you?
or did you take it upon yourself?
Were you anxious to prove something?
or were you expected to be great?
Achilles, did you give and never take?
Achilles, did your mother even come to your wake?
Achilles, why is it always your heel?
From some things, I guess you can't heal.
