Know

 

Curiosity breeds in me

Anxiety enfolding it

And my intelligence suffers deficiency

My mind reaches out

Hope stretching with it

But is drawn back by doubt

So many answers I seek

Uncertainties holding questions back

And my imperfect knowledge makes me meek

So fears for the unexplored

Build up with more I lack

And more I have not implored

Tell me please, tell me now

I need an apostle to tell me how

Help me, help me know
