Warnings: This is based on the myth of Medusa, so, non-con 

It was such a vile act

Too horrid for me to forget

I screamed for help from anyone

A broken cry that was not met

He tore me down on hallowed ground

Without a care for wrong or right

And when he left I could not move—

I'm sure I was a sorry sight

But then a woman came at last

And I thought that meant I'd be saved

For surely she would understand

What men can do when they're depraved

Instead she cursed me for my pain

As if I asked for this abuse

And though I tried to plead my case

I soon learned that there was no use

That day I changed forever more

Both in my head and in my heart

'Cause I no longer care for men

Nor women stuck on being "smart"

For they said to be malleable

But I think I'd rather be free

Shamed me twice, so now you'll see

What kind of villain I can be
