Will To Learn
Through the years which have been many
I have become a titch smarter and wiser
My teacher through life have been my eyes
I mimic what I have seen and then create it.
My knowledge comes from mankind's abilities
When I was in the 7th grade I could not read or write
I wasn’t dumb or stupid I was on medication
That wired me up to the max so, I couldn’t sit still
I taught myself how to read and write over time
Then came poetry which I am still trying to figure out
If you don’t open your eyes to life, you will never learn
If you are missing the will to learn then you can never teach
Without knowledge no matter what kind of knowledge it is
You will never know if someone is lying or telling you the truth
Experience is how I learned to read and write
Without my will to learn these written words
I would have never gotten 1st place in this contest, lol
Contest: It’s a part of me-Life and the perceptions and philosophies you hold
