I used to hope I’d inspire a symphony
      or an epic 
      not that I take it personally
When your complexion’s gone
      and no one’s 
about to immortalize you
      it’s time for a girl to take stock
I’ve surely done my part
      lacking Aphrodite’s charm
      the Virgin’s innocence
I stand here in this outrageous garb
lifting a torch in the night
      mortal metal 
bearing wishful words, flickering light.
