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
