Enigma
I am an enigma
to many, a complete mystery
for years they’ve tried to figure me out
but they could only conclude that I am an enigma
Science lies in wait
As a tiger eager for its intended prey
To study the brain cells that swirl in my head
Oh, they will be so disappointed
When they discover that even then
They won’t know the pleasure
Of finding the answers that they seek
An enigma
I don’t take offense
Why should I
When those that wonder
Don’t know themselves
They often guess and calculate
Their rights and their wrongs
I am not to be understood
Or dissected under the microscope
Of the world
Just because they desire the knowledge
Of who I am
Does not justify the release of the answer
The inquisition will remain
Just as I will remain
An enigma.
