Beneath the waves, where sunlight cannot reach, The siren sings, her voice a whisper in the depths, Once powerful, now silenced by the weight of time, Her song swallowed by the dark waters, Her lament an echo of forgotten pain.

Once, she danced upon the shore, Wild and free, untamed by the world, Her voice a force of nature, A cry that shook the heavens, A roar that defied the silence of submission.

But the world was not kind to her fire, To her fierce spirit, her unyielding heart, And so, they forced her beneath the waves, Chained her to the ocean floor, Her voice drowned in a sea of despair.

Now, she waits, Her voice a distant memory, Her power hidden in the shadows of the deep, But her lament lingers, A reminder of the wildness that still burns, Of the strength that cannot be silenced, Even in the darkest of oceans.

Take a moment before choosing what comes next.
