21st Century Athena
Goddess of the war
The war storming in her head,
she of strong will and knowledge
Walking the halls striding closer, Ever closer
To the justice she felt she deserved
To her father a headache
Yet ever the favorite so it seemed
And to her mother to whom there was none
She would always fight until her battles were won
Nothing holding her back
Her pen as a sword
She’ll write while her mind swirls aimlessly around
As her stress builds up she looks to the crowd
The stress of institution and reputation weighing her down
She’ll hold everyone up till’ she breaks down
Yet not even tears form in her grey eyes
She is ever fearless
Both feet on the ground
Her mind is her enemy
But the thing she trusts most
