The Unknown

I always thought of myself as smart,

Intelligent and wise.

But once I began to wonder,

My lack of knowledge took me by surprise.

As I began to notice, what people have never known,

The one thing I learn is that humans tell too many lies.

I try to find the solutions.

My brain craves the answers.

But that's hard when you're followed by the delusions

Of not being as smart as you thought.

I can't settle for this!

Instead of knowing what this is

I only know a few things that it's not.

All from the questions.

These questions.

What, when, how, who, where?

To question things- who would dare?

What we’re taught is always a fact,

Not agreeing is just an act!

I try to learn

About things no one has known,

But my knowledge still

Hasn't grown.

Will it ever,

Or will I be stuck like this...

Forever?
