I
I was born from Aphrodite herself
The heavens were my playground
I have received the Golden Apple of Discord
I am flawed perfection
I swam in the Nile with Cleopatra
Two philosophical women exchanging intellects
The water bends to my will
I am untamed royalty
I stood with Joan of Arc
In a war of femininity
I was burned at the stake
But my vivacity is inflammable
I am indestructible fragility
I chatted with Elizabeth I
In celibate solidarity
I defeated the Spanish Armada
Without breaking a single nail
I am independent helplessness
I ate cake with Marie Antoinette
At the height of the French Revolution
The guillotine rejected my splendor
I am humble vanity
I wore diamonds with Marilyn Monroe
Adorning them with grace and style
I was an iconic trailblazer
Left to blaze alone
I am doubtful confidence
I am extraordinarily simple
I am simply complex
I am boldly original
But I am nothing new…
