Oh, Medusa


Alone in the dark, yet brave

Given the power, you've adapted and slaved.

to the hateful men, and the judgemental stares. 

They've taken your innocence 

And turned you into tears,

But now you are constantly on the defence 

And protecting what was once there. 

Oh, college is the worse

Medusa don't let your voice be coarse

For rape doesn't define you, 

Protest the school who defied your right,

Never end the fight.
