Medusa
Her eyes were soft
She was beautiful up close
By nature and for no one else
But men desire what they don’t have
Her eyes were panicked
She told him no
Cried for help
But no one came
Her eyes were shattered
She felt broken
Thought she was wrecked
But she was given a gift of inspiration
Her eyes were hard
She walked the streets safely
Her beauty is a weakness
But now she knows how to be strong
The girl is ugly to outsiders
Baggy clothing, covered face, short hair
But once she looks at someone
No one can ever forget her eyes
Her eyes are calm
She is free
