What I Know


Sometimes,

I feel as if I know

All I need to know about living

That I have all the answers and I am ready to solve any problem

Sometimes,

I feel as if I know

What my future holds

Where I am going to go, who I am going to be, and what I am going to have

Sometimes,

I feel as if I know

That other people are wrong and I am right

That I know what is best for me

Yet sometimes,

I feel as if I still have so much to learn

That I am still so young and naive

That I still have not experienced many things, and therefore do know how to handle it all

But sometimes,

I know

That there are many people out there who just want to help me

That I don't have to learn on my own
