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