I begged the moon
for love.
I cannot love you.
Because I am human
and you are made of light?
Because you are human
and I am made
of stone.

The fork just so, read
The perfect book. Listen
If you’re too tired,
Or if you’re scared
Of marring the pages.
Smile. Don’t worry
About what your smile
Might reveal. Pretend
To be human again,
Until you wake up
No longer pretending,
Until your heart
Returns.”

noteIt’s ok… to have powerful characters. It’s ok… to have characters with tragic backstories. Powers should have limits and a tragic backstory should not be used to excuse present behaviour, but none of these things automatically makes a character a Mary Sue, guys.
Tragic backstories are interesting to read about, when done right – that’s why people write them. Powerful characters are fun to read about–that’s why people write them.
In my experience, a character becomes a Mary Sue when the narrative bends to kiss their ass and such things as a tragic backstory and powerful abilities are just their to make them cooler, and don’t add to their actual character.

Our feet pound the earth
as we dance,
enraptured, unstoppable.
In ancient times,
they hit the ground to plead
with Hades, knocking
on his door for attention.
If he could hear the rhythm
of our feet, he would know
that we are richer
than him. In this moment, we
are the immortals.
