A Question to Ask One's Self


 Is it better to know or be known?

If it is knowledge that is power, which realm does one call home?

It is fair to say,

even though very cliche,

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

but if we don't experience anything, we're simply living life under a bolder. 

Every meausurement of time is causing us to grow older

so why not gain all that there is to know before we become frail and colder?

Fuck being known.

People are so concerned over who is hot

and who is not.

If what you truly want is to be known, 

be known for knowing.
