Medusa speaks
The ability that I possess
A strength or a curse...
It's true I must confess
For it just made everything worse...
I asked for protection
Not stone turning gaze...
Now staring at my reflection
I'm stuck in a haze ...
The snakes on my head
Keep on squirming...
And each day I dread
That I am forgetting...
Forgetting how it was
Being a human...
Forever trapped in twisted laws
Converting into a rage filled demon..
I fear I'm losing my sanity
Only wanted to pour devotion...
But ended up losing my chastity
And got an unwanted commotion...
I was just an innocent being
Somehow got entangled...
In the war of two divinities
And was thoroughly trampled...
What was my fault?
I ask again and again..
Why the peace had a sudden halt
And was replaced by unending pain?...

Medusa speaks is a poem from the perspective Of medusa, a character from one of the stories in greek mythology.
It's a little interesting when writing the poem from someone's perspective because it makes one wonder how it would've felt.
The same thing I tried to do here. This is a character who was innocent but then too punished.
I hope the readers enjoy reading this as much as i enjoyed writing it.
All in all, I'm looking forward to reviews from your side. After all, constructive criticism helps other improve...
Thanks again..
