Autodidact's Solitude
it is a drug i think
knowledge
sweet on the lips
bitter
the more I learn
I know
the more I feed
I grow
full inside to bursting
overflow
I’ve found my truths
alone
why do you fear to speak
to me
why do you hide
from me
please? someone? do all fear
knowing?
you fear losing your
belief?
why do you all speak
cliche`
I can’t forget what I
have learned
unwelcome in academy halls
elites
and invitations from friends
unsent
I’ve read so many books
complete
my mind is full; my soul
empty
