At Underscore Infamous

All I wanted was a little attention All I wanted was a little fame Under my Sisters’ wings’ all my life I had lived All I wanted was my own name. Ahh, but alas some clichés hold true That being famous is no good The limelight has a dim hue To turn the hands of time oh I wish I could. I was like any young girl I dreamed of wealth and admiration from the world So to get there what did I do? I let my hair down and my last name? Gorgon, that had to go too Medusa alone suited me just fine I knew of celebs that dropped unwanted names all the time. With this new name and my new look I’m was sure to get snapchat views, and more friends on Facebook Did I mention my Instagram check mark? I had arrived! And to think I use to live in the dark. Every social media opp you could count me in Anywhere you seen Athena I was there like a Siamese twin Athena, showed me all the ropes, and told me of all the men But made me vow to only look, because to touch one was a sin. To touch a man or lose it all? This beautiful lock haired vixen would not trip, slip, or fall I played by the rules; I turned down dates Until one day there would come a man that would change my fate. He was nice and maybe easy on the eyes some would say Persuasive, captivating, manipulating even But Poseidon would not get me, a virgin I wished to stay He used words, cheap tricks and finally brute force the heathen! I had all the fame and had never known love Now here I was being taken on the temple floor I fought, I scratched, and screamed to the Gods above Yet not one heard my cry, and I was a virgin no more Then suddenly from the shadows crept a familiar voice Athena! Thank heavens I cried and rejoiced I flung to her waist as a child to a mother Yet with her actions she rejected me, a word she did not utter Instead she smiled at Poseidon then took out her phone There’s only room for one superstar here sis It looks to me here a virgin no longer exists You have been too reckless and disobedience you have shown I was speechless as a one-time friend said these words It dawned on me her jealousy had her vision blurred Surely she would realize the error in her decision Think it over even, give me hope for revision. All I wanted was attention and fame I didn’t ask for the rape, ridicule, and shame Nevertheless, it all came the same I thought I could change it, but I became another toy in the game. Athena, why worry of enemies when I have you as a friend Those were my last words before my fifteen minutes came to an end The next time I saw myself I had sand paper skin Sharp, yellow teeth, and breath that was sure to offend. My once beautiful locks now cold blooded serpents that hissed The wings I was once under were now upon my back My eyes bloody red and my mortality I lacked I was now a monster, and my once dull life I reminisced. I am to roam the world forever as a beast all alone I cannot dream, not love the darkness is my home Now I have no friends because my gaze turns all into stone I wanted to be the bomb and now I have blown. The family I tried so hard to depart I am a Gorgon, where I should have stayed from the start The price for fame and popularity was far too steep I am only known for the bad, the good I cannot keep. For all my likes and mentions do not matter They constantly add to the downfall in my story In the end perseus had my head on a platter Can you believe it, a man yet again getting my glory?
