Goddess in the Halls
Athena roams the halls of Olympia High
Admiring the art on the walls,
The proud women in the classrooms,
The curriculum that challenges even her
She hears whispers of divinity
The Fates call her Valedictorian
Aphrodite calls her smartass
She wears her bronze and blue Ravenclaw sweater with pride,
Saying “Professor McGonagall was named after me”
She’s the star of the volleyball team,
Holds the record for the javelin in track & field,
And is the top of her class, but
No boys swoon at her approach
They walk right past, toward her sister
Toward
The Pretty One
The Girly One
The Popular One
The... better one
No
Not better, just...
Pretty
But Athena is Proud
Wise
A Warrior
Athena is all she needs to be
And more
