Medusa

I am an outcast

A menace to society 

I am dusa 

 

I used to have fun 

And dance at parties 

Until he made his pants looser 

 

Athena wanted seidon 

seidon wanted me

Not that he asked what I thought

 

He grabbed my waist 

Said my curls looked like snakes 

Then he moved me like a wave at sea

 

it Was not hot

 

I couldn’t speak 

Mouth underwater 

He tuned my soul to stone 

 

As time went on 

He called me the monster 

Now I want to be left alone

 

I curse any man who thinks 

He can look at my face and 

Want what he sees 

 

I dare you to stare into my 

Deep captivating eyes 

Ill give you the stone disease 

This poem is about: 
Me
My family
My community
My country
Our world
