Through The Eyes Of A Teenage Girl

TW!!! R@pe

Medusa

A priestess of Athena

Made her goddess grin

At the beautiful dances and sacrifices she performed

Medusa danced to please her goddess

Her white satin robe curled her body

with the speed and soul of her dance

Her curls fell at her shoulders like waves at sea

Athena’s temple was pure as a newborn dove

And she intended to keep it that way

Taking great pride in her temple rituals

Poseidon

Watched from the sea

The young priestess danced with her whole soul

Pure of a virgin’s womb

And the fire everlasting

It burns and eats the sacrifices

With a unquenchable hunger

Poseidon

Gazes a the devoted priestess

And thoughts creep into his mind

Disgusting

A mix of lust and revenge

For the shame forced on his head by Athena

Pleasure is all he craved

Medusa

Sprints

Her heart beats faster than it ever has before

Her mouth is dry

but she can’t stop

A slimy thing chases her

Its pounding feet ring in her ears

Tears flood from her eyes

But stops

When she sees it

Sanctuary

Medusa races into Athena’s temple.

Before the statue

Of her beloved goddess

She crumbles

But it is too late

The sea serpent slides up her leg

She prays

She sings and chants to the goddess she devoted her life to

But the sea serpent doesn’t stop

It plants it’s seeds on land

That isn’t his

Athena

is distraught

Her pure temple

Was dirtied by Poseidon

Her beloved priestess prays

for help,

Grace,

And mercy

Athena turns in disgust

She transforms Medusa into a monster

With a ugly gaze

Now No man can ever look her in the eyes again

Hisses fill her ears

She raced out of the temple begging for help

And everyone she begs ignores her

But it isn’t there fault

They are stone

Medusa

can’t see herself

But from the last look on people’s faces

And the snakes on her head

She changed

Her hands are cracked

Her legs are brittle

When did this happen?

She woke in the temple

And when she asked people

For guidance or help

Statues

Petrified faces stared back

Athena

Guilt gripping her heart

Sees her loyal priestess

Cursed with loneliness

Forever

Infinity

An immortal being

With none to converse with

Is a depressing existence

So she takes Mercy

To end her suffering

Percus

raises his sword

and Medusa lunges

He hides behind a rock

But he can’t hide forever

He shoots out

A warrior’s arrow

Percus holds his shined shield

And Medusa sees herself

For the first time

In centuries

Her once blemishless skin was now ashy and dull

Her once fiery curls were now slimy snakes

But in that second

She turned to stone

Dead

Finally

For her beauty she was raped

What an odd thing to say?

The adults speak

Little did they know

I haven’t reached my peak

For my “odd” question

Wasn’t a question at all

It was a suggestion

“Are you okay?”

Thee adults turned in shock

For I asked this to a dead Blue Jay

Little did they know

I knew it was dead

But his spirit still lingered

And everyone deserves company

“But why am I alone?” I pondered

I could see Mr. Blue Jay’s ghost

He glows and is hazy

But I am humble unlike the adults

And do not boast

I miss Mr. Blue Jay

He sung lovely songs to me

A dog smiles

At his owner’s face

Even though there is a silver knife above its head.

Will his owner show grace?

The dog wags its tail

And his eyes gleam.

For the dog can’t imagine

later, he would let out a scream.

The dog cuddles its owner

Soft fur in hand.

The owner’s eyes welled with tears

Knowing his companion will leave the mortal land.

The dog doesn’t make a fuss

Trust branded in his soul

But this would be his last day on earth
