Goddess

They tell me I look like a goddess

That I'm more beautiful than Aphrodite herself

But inside, I feel useless

Only a pawn in this great game we call life

They say I'm smart

But on the inside I feel stupid
As if I were a little speck on the bigger picture

There is an empty hole inside where my soul once was

Words of theirs mean nothing to me

An empty head is all I am

No brain, no brawn and no beauty

A goddess with brains, an Athena almost

But I don't feel that way - the ditzy blonde is how I feel

All alone with no friends

Their kind words bounce off of me

My tear drops stain my face

I try to tell them that I am no goddess

I never will be one
