Uncertainty


I thrive on it, I relish in the unknown

Life is the unknown

Uncertainty brings forth agony and excitement,

We cannot live with out this chaos

 

Infants are infatuated by new,new,new

Adults steer clear

We are born learning not having already learned

But what we teach is hatred of uncertainty

 

“When will we get there?”

“What are your plans?”

“Who will you grow up to be?”

Questions circulating the minds of the youth

Uncertainty in our path

 

You must have answers to these questions otherwise you threaten the system

Always have the right answer

Never stumble on your words

Make them clear and you shall be labeled, “Driven,” ”Ambitious “

 

WHY MUST I KNOW?

Uncertainty,

I’d rather live in a world accepting of it

If I knew everything, would life be worth living?
