Medusa

Take a look at me
What do you see
A beautiful woman with golden hair
Or a hideous gorgon who packs a stare
An innocent girl punished for nothing
Or a guilty, betraying fool, punished for loving
I tell you, the gods are against me
But they are with you, son of Zeus
Athena was your guide to me, wasn't she
That jealous cow wants me dead forever
You will decide my fate, but she will never
Where are you demi god!
You can't fool me
Look at me now, or at least what I used to be.
