I Want to Learn

I want to learn. I don't want to need a degree. I don't want to take a test. I want to learn. I want to go when I feel like it When the moment is right When it's all about my standards And my thoughts And mine alone. I don't want to be compared. I don't want to be told how far I am from perfect Nobody wants to know how little they know Nobody wants to be educated. I want to learn. I want to read without proving I did Without thinking about what I need to pass Without thinking about failure. I want to learn, and be rewarded for that. Not what I know now, but how much I've learned.
