Medusa Is My Mother

Medusa is my mother

As she is mother to all of us

Medusa was hurt by Poseidon

As I was hurt by men twice my age

Medusa was found and comforted by Athena

In a way I never was by anyone

And Athena made her strong and fearsome

As I was forced to make myself

Medusa was abused by a god for her beauty

And in retaliation took the offer to become a monster

Medusa is my mother

For I can always find solace in her stony gaze and warm embrace

Medusa is my mother

For I know she understands why I chose to become hard and cold

Possibly all true. Still, I advise against trying to comb her hair.
