The Meaning of Pride
Everything has a definition of its own, especially what makes the world stand out. What are colors? What do the colors symbolize?
All colors have uses
Especially when they are fused
White is the color of hope’s light
Black is the color of empty darkness
Red is the color of love
That isn’t craved enough
Orange is the color of joy
That is often used as a toy
By people who know how to fake it
Until they emotionally get hit
Yellow is the symbol of luxury
Where people are known for greed
Thieves would run in a lightning speed
Without getting caught
Since they’re always lost in thought
Green is known for luck
Where jealousy is also struck
Blue is the color of sadness
That turns people into a mess
but depression doesn’t last forever
Since it helps everyone grow
Purple is the cause of devotion
Since it gives out motivation
For loyalty and creativity to be powerful
Which makes life become more peaceful
Rainbow itself is the color of equality
Where everyone is in unity
To support the ideals of humanity
For peace to be made
Together and forever

The Salt in her Voice
The myth says mermaids sing to lure sailors to their death. But why? The ocean is huge. Only 5 percent has been discovered by man. Why would a creature of the sea with that much space to roam ever care about the fate of men on ships? The answer, as it turns out, is not a simple one at all. The truth about the myth is older than the tides. Long ago before the first ship ever cut across the surface, the sea made a pact with the sky. The sky would take the souls of the drowned. Anyone who died in storms or any quiet accidents of the deep would have their soul lifted upward to the Heavens while the bodies would remain below, feeding the oceans endless hunger. The greedy sea however wanted more souls than the sky would claim. So it created mermaids. It gave them beautiful voices woven from currents and moonlight. It commanded them to sing. "Bring forth the ones who float where they should sink." it instructed them. So they did. They never killed out of malice but out of obligation. They sung to summon, not to seduce. A mermaid's voice could loosen the tether between the body and soul, making any man step willingly into the water. The sea would take the body and the sky would take the soul. Balance maintained.
