Medusa Is My MotherA Poem by Askew
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
