Dilemma

The pain is in vain,
Just closure for my soul,
the gain though, is plain,
freedom to the floor!

The sweet release of guilt
the big relief i felt
the painful blow i dealt
is making my insides melt

But now the road is clear,
or at least its supposed to be,
but they still distract me dear,
blurring what i see

Odesseus and the sirens,
Samson and and his girl,
they both had their chances,
but only one came out the whirl

The other, on his knees
reduced to half a man
captured, confined,
broken, reduced to plead

So Samson? or Odesseus?
whose path will i chose?
but there are a lot of holes
and this theory may be loose

For odesseus was married
happily with a kid,
and Samson no doubt,
thought the same fate was his.

So Penelope or Delilah
either one of them could trick
so how do you find out
which is which?

Good question. Let me get back to you when I have the answer...LOL!

Also maybe my Homer is a little rusty, but wasn't Penelope faithful to the end of the Odyssey?
