Wiring

Inside us all, we look the same, Or similar, at least, With blood and bones and organs Working ‘til we are deceased. Yet there are subtle differences In how we each are wired And that explains the varied ways Our quirks have been acquired. Though how we’re raised helps shape us, Personalities remain Subject to the messages they get From deep within the brain. So if we’re calm or quick to snap Or anxious, loud or shy Or paranoid or always up Or down, the reason why Is wiring that’s been with us From when we were conceived, Controlling how we get through life And how we are perceived.
