Grey Matter: Dear XX/XY

You are a variable

and it may be hard

to come to terms with

but your number will come.

You will have good times, bad times

happy times, sad times

you will change.

There will be additions

and subtractions

but your values can be infinite,

both rational and irrational

while your smile

will go on like pi.

Sometimes your coefficients

will make you big, sometimes small

but know that

you'll still be you

on the inside.

There may be other factors too

who will tip your equation

but don't worry,

they are always mistakes, inevitable

it is the learning that matters.

So learn,

find new angles

of looking at boring circles

and never give up

especially when

the problem is difficult.

And they will be

so when you lose heart

just remember

that I'll always be around

to make your life easier

a constant,

Grey Matter
