The More You Know


The more you know, the quicker you'll be to realize that you don't know anything at all.
For every sunrise, the sun is destined to fall.
Hah, but isn't that so obvious?

You see, just like the leaves growing, then falling off a tree.
In comparison with a wave of the ocean that upsurges only to be submissed back to from which it came.
My adolescence is defined by what I have come to understand about the beginning, and end of life.
 
Now less nieve, newer pains and pleasures will continue to be presented.
A counterfeit purpose, or expression that I should be so attentive?
Ah, not so fathomable.
 
My black and white world becomes so much more obscure.
The apparent and not so palpable intertwine into a graceful paradox.
I see life now as mindboggling yet breathtaking.
"The more you know."
