More than Matter


Trying to look like more than just atoms,

I make my attitude deeper than stratum. 

Cells and elements make up me, 

A tamed beast insecure while free.

I put meaning in words unknown,

While contacting other cells through my phone.

Making myself be more than just there,

I do flips and tricks to make people stare.

I am not another part of the consensus, 

I am only pretentious.
