Medusa
Opportunist sniper lady of the viper seeking to diminish who I am.
You gain your lofty standing whilst never understanding the nuances that dwell within this man
Your nonchalant remarks only serve to light the spark of disdain lurking in my core.
Don’t underestimate this man, you need to understand that my strategy will beat you to the fore.
You’re underhanded games and selfish trivial aims, do nothing to enhance your reputation.
Consider all mankind and maybe you will find that people are more important than your station.
Asclepius, don't poke me with your hook. Medusa, come closer take a look.
Because I'm not the quiet man you might consider.
Don’t be misled by the words I may have said because quiet men run deeper than a river.
What may I ask, has hurt you in the past? The chinks within your armour
I can see.
I remind you of a time when life was far from fine and so you turn your anger onto me
You’re disturbed by my confidence, troubled by my ease.
You’d like to see me crash and burn, fall from my trapeze, like to see me take a final kiss.
Consider all you preach, because there’s nothing you can teach a man who’s often been to the abyss.
Lady of the Ophidian, creature of the night, there’s no need to fight at every turn
It’s time to drop your guard, stop acting like you’re hard, listen and one day you may learn.
You’re using lots of words, demanding to be heard, grasping at your toppled lofty crown.
One day you’ll understand that I’m the sort of man that although dead simply won’t lie down.
Try to cross my path with good intention, let’s discuss it might reduce the tension?
I’ve seen your mind games many times before,
It’s your ego and your pride, the hurt you keep inside that keeps the real you locked behind closed doors.
You’re much too scared to get to know me well.
You cannot comprehend how I excel..
Your image and bravado are merely fake.
Oh frightened angry lady of the snake.
