Matter
By:
Auriana Irannejad
Great gray
matter,
How gray
must one be,
To know
they matter?
Surrounded
in white, surrounded in bliss,
Yet stuck
in a gyrus, hiding them from this abyss
No one
penetrates this layer,
No one
enters this skull
To let
them know they matter
Before the
lack of serotonin makes them dull
Inside
this cranium, inside this little black hole,
Contains
all of the matter
That needs
to pour into their soul
This
chamber can only be opened
If one lets them know
How dense their
matter is
And there
is a reason not to go
So a
question we must ask, a concept that is hard to fathom,
Is how
gray must one be,
To know
that they matter?
