Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Unloved

Hydra, a water creature, I

Was raised by goddess Hera, who

Told me I was special and why,

Kill Hercules for her I'd do.

She filled my many heads with hate

For Hercules who she said would

Come fight me and would meet his fate

Of being killed by me for good.

But then I learned that Hera lied.

So when Hercules came to fight,

All of my many heads just cried.

I was wrong, Hercules was right.

I gave Hercules victory.

Hera never really loved me.
