knowing: unknowingness pulls me aside
favors the strongest, yet I with my pride
staunch my direction by closing my eyes
holding, beholding, my glorified prize
deep in my mind, undefeatable I
swoop through the air on a meaningless high
how many cycles of time slip away
walking, just walking, with nowhere to stay
searching for pardon, a promise, an aid
all to extend my pathetic parade
yet, I recall, through those fragmented years
ignorance sheltered me, canceled my fears
raised my morale, and cemented me whole
brought me the marbles reality stole
