I Know
|
The world taught me how important is knowledge,
They told me, to survive here you need the word “I know”;
Studied at night to serve the word “I know” to the teachers
I wanted to impress;
Worked hard on assignments to move up the ladder
by showing the magic of “I know”,
The magic surely worked but the race was endless:
Every “I know” was just a milestone;
After reaching every “I know”, there was a new “I know”
waiting out there …
More promotions, more people to impress
Got really tired, so tired that absentmindedly wrote the word “I know”
in the reverse order as “know I”,
Looked up in frustration when a sudden thought flashed past my mind,
Looked back at the words and couldn’t help but smile …
