Don'T Say Goddess If You'Re Not Ready Poem by Delilah Miller

Just goes to show you can’t be open with anyone.
The second you are…
He is convinced you are already won.
If you think I’m so pretty, if I’m such a goddess…
Treat me like one.
Did anyone who wasn’t divine ever touch Aphrodite, beauty at it’s best?
No.
What happened to the man who witnessed Artemis bathing and hungered after her caress?
He was turned into a deer and was killed by his own hunting dogs.
Who was the one man that Athena fell in love with, for all her pride and finesse?
He was a demi-god who was the greatest hunter among humans.
And he was blinded, I think, and turned into a constellation that shined above the bear, but a little less.
Just goes to show there never something for nothing.
If, in all seriousness, I’m a prize to you, win it!
Because only Cupid, and Apollo, Poseidon and Zeus had that limitless lust, only an appreciation for beauty and zeal,
leading to affairs with nymphs, and girls, and women and goats.
Surely they gazed at their wives and lovers with equal fire.
But you’ll never find a scintillating goddess without a test.
