Apollo


The pendant I wear around my neck reminds me

That liquid sunlight runs through my veins

And if I let it

It will consume me

And destruction will flow from my fingertips

But if I harness it

I am more powerful than I know

More formidable than any mortal being could understand

I am radiant

I am dangerous

I am born of the sun

Fire runs through my veins

And my power is brilliant
