athena. 

your mind 
and your tongue 
are the greatest weapons 
you’ll ever need 

artemis.  
you were born 
with silver in your veins 
so take aim 
and don’t hold back 

persephone. 
living in hell 
doesn’t make you 
any less 
of an angel  

hera. 
marriage is meant to be  
a lifelong relationship  
and the most important marriage  
will be with yourself  

demeter. 
take lessons from the harvest;  
even the smallest of seeds 
can flourish  
into beautiful trees  

aphrodite. 
your body is your armor  
your shield  
and your greatest weapon 
use it well 

rhea. 
like the tides out to sea  
you may crash  
before you can 
flow with ease 

hesita. 
sometimes  
you have to look 
beyond your four walls 
to find your way home

a little known fact- i'm wiccan. one of my deities is aphrodite. originally i was going to write this poem about her specifically but it ended up being about multiple greek goddesses.

i don't have very much to post today, partially because it's late and partially because school has been kicking my butt ): i have the day off tomorrow though, so i'm going to make some posts and schedule them. 

i hope you guys are doing well <3

  1. Ooh this was nice! I think Greek goddesses have the prettiest names, they work well in poetry.
