Unknown

The wonder of not knowing doesn’t come from knowing

It’s birthed in the unknown

It rises in what you have no way of knowing

And when you finally see it

When you finally learn of it

When you finally learn of how much you don’t

That’s when you really grow

You rise from the ashes of the success you had in your little bubble

You rise from the ashes of your imaginary world crumpled to pieces simply because of your ignorance

The laziness

The lack of reality

Because of your caged upbringing

Because someone said YOU couldn’t

That you can’t

And every time you break the ceiling, you break your bubble

You shatter the very ground they stood on

But there was never hatred

There was never even love

What was it

Was it oneness

No

Was it ignorance

No

Was it that they thought they owned not just you, but your entire life

Or is that what you think of them

What you think they do

Will you ever know

Will they ever know themselves

They do

It’s the acceptance that’s difficult

What you realise now

The real struggle begins once you shatter it

Once it’s all broken and you begin as ashes again

Because once it’s shattered

The earth under no longer holds

Neither you

Nor them
