The Expanse

The outer reaches of the cerebral cortex,

Vast intricate circuits intertwine.

Waves of knowledge carry forward,

Jointly infused with the spine.

Immense power of the controlling hub,

With power to make a change.

Growing and flowing like impressionist artwork,

Growing and flowing like a beautiful image.

It grows to an unprecedented scale,

Where does the old end and the new begin?

What mysteries lie in its realm and,

The expanse of knowledge it carries within?

Let Me Ask You

Let me ask you,
Would you close your eyes and count to ten?
Would that make the pain go away?

Let me ask you,
Would the sun shine brighter if it went away, those memories?
Would you be a different person then?

Let me ask you,
Would you be less stronger if you didn’t know how to deal with pain?
Would it be more difficult for you then?

So let me ask you,
Is it the pain that you are running away from, or the inability,
To handle that pain?
Why don’t you ask yourself that?
