Be Me
if i could be
i'd be the protege to Aphrodite, the arrow
in Cupid's bow, the war for Ares and the
underworld for Hades or just Persephone
i'd be the sky where Zeus played, the rage
inside of Hera, the sleep of Hypnos, the hero
inside of Odysseus and the sea of Poseidon
i'd be the madness the Fury carried, the
strength of Hercules, snakes of Medusa,
even the body of winds and Pandora's box
i'd be the music of Apllo, the arrogance of
Artemis and the beauty of Psyche or the
hungry heads of Skylla and Thanatos death
i'd be the wisdom of Athena, the density
given by the Fates, i'd rule like Calypso
or be the wit of a Muse
if i could be yes i would be but most of
all if i could be i'd be no one but me
no one else could be
