onIon.

what is one?
but an onion.
numerous layers to peel away,
but who'd bother?
when a few deep gashes can get you a meal
deal.
so who'd care to carefully examine each layer,
so who'd bother with what seems a harmless bulb,
but has roots as deep and complicated as any
no onion can reveal its true identity
without:
tears in its skin, and tears in your eyes.
so believe me when i say:
this bulb you see,
isn't very pretty,
and lonesome is its true sanctuary
however if you make an effort to see,
and get to know me
i could be more than just an onion,
feel a bit human.
