Pandora's Box
Pandora held that jar tight
And wrapped it with layers and layers of "I'm over it"
Two evils: Guilt and Distrust.
Pandora held that box, and it became a part of her.
Four evils: Love, Guilt, Distrust, Inferiority
Pandora justified the parts of her she put in that box, it was all okay.
Right?
Five evils: Love, Guilt, Distrust, Inferiority, Dysphoria
Pandora saw others loving their evils, expressing them.
The wrapping comes undone slowly
But a new evil joins
Six evils: Love, Guilt, Distrust, Inferiority, Dysphoria, Disbelief.
One day Pandora left her jar where it could be attacked
And Prometheus burned through the protection
Nothing to stand on
Flying
Nothing to stand on
Falling
There's no shutting the evils away now.
It's too late.
It's too late.
IT'S TOO LATE.
