Hephaestus

Hammer in hand

no one could challenge.

Words are cannons that leave much damage.

His own mother pulled the rug from under his feet.

The fall was brutal-

the mountain was steep.

We each have our own skills to show

different ways of tying our shoelace.

But how do you show the world all you have if

you’re not allowed to run the race?

No one dares to put their finger in the mouth of devouring flames.

Being heard is the hardest task

especially when you’re an insignificant link on the chain.

People enjoy stepping on the tail of a mouse.

Some get so caught up in the paint

they fail to open the doors to the house.

By working hard, Hephaestus earned his name.

His talent was pure passion fuelled by pain.

So you see my dear, it’s not jewelry nor books that get you far in life.

For the most beautiful people have more to offer than their looks.

They have a purpose in life.
