CIRCE 5.21.25 (4:16 pm)
circe oh circe abandoned

circe you, circe misunderstood

circe banished for having power
isn’t that how it always plays out?

oh circe alone on your island i see you
oh circe every version of your story
seems like you’re villianized in the end

oh circe in all your stories ever told,
we don’t seem to learn a single thing,
only still in the end
the men triumph once again

circe i’m not sorry you’re powerful
i’m sure you aren’t either
circe the witches always get banished
off to some version of aeaea
or hung on trees and killed
always by angry men

circe oh circe lost
i wish you’d had a different life
