The Gods

I stood in front of the Gods

   Waiting to be sentenced 

But the Gods were feeling generous 

     And instead of being sent to hell

They changed me 

    They blessed me

They severed my ties to poverty

    And Hades 

Lifted a curse that I had since birth

     Poseidon cured the poison that was in my veins 

And Zeus made me as quick as lightning 

    Aphrodite blessed me with love 

Apollo showed me his sun

    And before it could set

It warmed my soul

   And lingered inside of my spirit 

And with it

   He told me to shine

Athena gave me some of her wisdom

   Which calmed the storms in my mind

Hermes had a message for me

   He told me that I was burdened with a glorious purpose 

At my lowest

   When I was done for

At the moment when chaos ruled my mind

     Right as I was all out of time

The Gods gifted me light

   And told me to shine.
