I know I was made
With the consult
Of the wisest Olympian,
The goddess of beauty
Hovering over her shoulder
As she sculpted my mind.
But though Aphrodite
Contributed a touch,
I am beautiful
Because my features
Carry that sharpness,
That sense
That knowledge is secure
With me in the room.
That fire in my eyes
And cheekbones
That tells you I am
Ready for war.
The point to the nose
Like a spear in your face.
I am beautiful
Because I challenge you.
