the ball

i'm just a mortal
dressed up as a goddess
hoping to dance
among the gods

so i came up
with my best dress
looking my best
hoping to join the festivities

my dream was cut short
at the foot of mount olympus
when aphrodite approached me
and gave me the hard truth

"you might look like a goddess,
but you're only a mere mortal,
that cannot be changed,
by putting on a nice dress

"go home mortal,
you don't belong here,
who are you kidding,
you're not divine."
