Clay molded me, a gift divine
In Zeus's garden, ______ sunlight would shine
The gods all warned, with furrowed ______
A jar I held, a forbidden vow
"Pandora's Box," they said with fear
"Leave it untouched, my child, ______ it dear
For inside it churns, a tempestuous sea
______ woes untold, a misery"
Days turned to years, the ______ grew loud
The whispers of secrets, a tempting shroud
______ wonders hid, in that polished gleam?
A curiosity bloomed, ______ forbidden dream
"Pandora's Box," I'd whisper at night
"Just a peek inside, to set things right?"
The ______ gave way, with a hesitant sigh
And a whirlwind erupted, beneath the sky
Sickness and sorrow, a plague on ______ breeze
Anger and envy, brought mortals to their knees
______ world we knew, turned bleak and cold
A paradise lost, a story untold
Pandora's Box, a burden I hold
______ weight of the world, a story to be told
______ nestled within, a flickering flame
A sliver of hope, ______ whisper my name
Hope, it remains, a fragile thread
______ mend what's broken, the words left unsaid
A curse ______ unleashed, a lesson learned well
Curiosity's bite, a sorrowful ______
But with trembling hands, I'll rise from the dust
______ rebuild the future, in flickering trust
