Beowulf, Grendel and me


Neither Beowulf nor Grendle compare to me
For my heart is neither strong nor empty
I have not the strength to do great deeds
But yet I still feel the need
The need to help those in pain
But I wont do it for personal gain
As Beowulf fought Grendle for Fame

The evil that is in my heart
Only makes up a very small part
It doesn’t control how I act
The way it did when Grendle attacked
So I will never fall to the power of sin
And I will keep my lustful thoughts within
Because my holy father says they’re forbidden

Grendle’s Lust and Beowulf’s greed
Led them to their fates indeed
All they wanted was Blood and Fame
To them this life was just a game
That is why we don’t compare
For my vision is not impaired
By lust, greed, or any sin
Because someday I want to be home again

    I somewhat liked that story. It reminded me of a video game. I agree with Heartbroken Soul change the background, lol. Great write. Make sure all Grandels are spelled the same.
