I knew I had so much to see
when I saw the gutted homes on the outskirts of the city
I knew I had so much to learn
the day I asked my mother why there were so many tiny houses
and she told me they were mobile homes
I know I have a lot to learn
because my head is brimming with questions
my heart aches to know what else is out there
what lies beneath the foundation in that gutted building
and why people would ever want to live in such tiny houses
why the people of this world act the way they do
how many of us really do try our best
and how to be myself when we're all everybody else
I have so much to learn.
