I endeavor to understand life, but answers are often elusive. My poetry is a compilation of my epiphanies and random thoughts, which I have concluded are the foundation of my understanding of life. As I grow, I understand some things more, yet find myself perplexed by others I once thought I understood. Life is an ever-changing situation that I endeavor to decipher and can only manage to balance momentarily. We live, we learn, we hope, and ultimately, we leave this plane of existence with the last lesson of life being a personal one. A truly intelligent person knows that they knownothing.A truly wise person knows that there is always more tolearn.A truly pious person knows to look for fault in oneselfand not in others.
