I was beautiful once
They wrote that part down
What came after
They preferred to leave out
I did not ask for what he did
I did not ask for what she did after
One became a monster
Only one of us was punished
They needed something terrible to blame
So they gave my face a different kind of frame
Look at me
Make this face from rage
I did not ask to turn the world to stone
She only wanted
I only wanted to be left alone
Perseus came with a mirror and a sword
They called it heroism
They put my head on a shield
They called it power
Even after
I was still useful to them
I have never stopped being used
They took the only thing I had that was mine
And made it into something they could hide behind
Look at me
Make this face from rage
I did not ask to turn the world to stone
She only wanted
I only wanted to be left alone
Do you know what the stone was?
It was the only boundary I had left
Do you know what the hero took?
The last wall I had built around myself
She only wanted to be left alone
Alone
Look at her
I did not make this face from rage
She did not choose this
I did not ask to turn the world to stone
I only wanted to be left alone
Alone
