The Nucleus

Do you know how I look from inside, asked an atom to another?
Eyes brimming with curiosity whispered in silence
and they told each other the stories of their protons, neutrons..
the gloomy ones, the happy ones and ones they had told no one before
Soon the first atom realized he wasn’t a neutral one
Fearing that she might alter his internal structure, his nucleus
he started pretending to be inert, as noble as an atom could be,   
Slowly he grew hard shells with random electrons revolving around the core,
Gradually he bled through alpha, beta, gamma, zeta, phi…
and lo! The bad atom has now lost all that he stood for,
The nucleus will soon have its last breath in peace.
Peace, will it be?
