"Jealous Athena"

I pondered writing a description of the myth that gave this a title, but am too sleepy... enjoy... I'm off to bed, and I expect to see a comment or two by the time i get back ;) (joking!) *HUGS* everyone.
"Jealous Athena"
jealous Athena
(my hands are Arachne)
see the threads i weave?
so beautiful
you'll never match
that beauty
as long as i live
[are you going to kill me?
would you like to try?]
i lie here sleeping
vulnerable in time
are you going to stab me?
finish what you couldn't
bring yourself to do
the first time?
jealous Athena
try all you want
(my hands are Arachne)
weave me a winding sheet
lie me in your bed
but the fear is gone
and now there's only me
you'll never destroy
that emotion
as long as i live
[are you going to kill me?
would you like to try?]
i spread myself out here
vulnerable in darkness
are you going to tear me?
finish what you didn't have
the mercy to do the first time?
jealous Athena
try all you want
(my hands are Arachne)
i will rise and i will fall
and i will fall and i will rise (again)
and i have infinite strength
infinite will
infinite power
to stand again
[my smiling mouth
my bleeding feet
suffering made easy]
make my stand here
you'll never destroy
that life
within me
as long as i live
[are you going to kill me?
would you like to try?
i would scream louder
i would scream louder this time]
jealous Athena
will this continue?
jealous Athena
you'll never win
jealous Athena
no longer within me
jealous Athena
of you i am free
jealous Athena
try all you want
My hands are Arachne.
