Allusion Poem Draft

Destined for greatness from day one
I value my education before any fun
Always trying to stay on top of my game
With my worthy advice bringing me to fame
Compassionate yet unforgiving
My life is definitely well worth living

Fearless and logical in the art of war
I'm a work in progress stuck on ground floor
Battle after battle I've overcame many
Time and time again dealing with plenty
Fighting for justice throughout our land
It's quite difficult juggling the tasks at hand

Overwhelmed with my roles
But always striving towards my goals
Truly mature, responsible and reliable 
Serving to protect others; making me liable
Trusted by my the King of Gods himself 
Bearing secrets like a book on a shelf

All knowing with much intellect
Future dreams and plans I hope to perfect
No doubt in my mind 
No fear in my heart
When the stars are aligned
Worthy of eminence from the very start

I've learned a lot about life
From disputes and a stupid fife
To acts of selflessness and generosity
I think we all can agree
That brains and creativity
Are all I need to succeed
