The more I learn, the more I sink. Every answer I grasp pulls me deeper into the quicksand of questions I cannot escape. The more I know, the more I see the cracks in what I believed, the shadows behind every truth, the lies I didn’t even notice until I reached for them. I reach for understanding, but it slips a mirror shattered in my hands. Each shard reflects a version of me lost, broken, searching, trapped between what was and what I will never fully become. The more I learn, the more I am bound. The more I learn, the more I am blind. Every step forward reveals another wall, every certainty reveals its fracture. And so I move in circles, my mind a labyrinth, my heart a cage, my soul a prisoner to the weight of knowing and the terror of what I cannot.

The Weight of Knowing
The more I learn, the more I sink. Every answer I grasp pulls me deeper into the quicksand of questions I cannot escape. The more I know, the more I see the cracks in what I believed, the shadows behind every truth, the lies I didn’t even notice until I reached for them. I reach for understanding, but it slips a mirror shattered in my hands. Each shard reflects a version of me lost, broken, searching, trapped between what was and what I will never fully become. The more I learn, the more I am bound. The more I learn, the more I am blind. Every step forward reveals another wall, every certainty reveals its fracture. And so I move in circles, my mind a labyrinth, my heart a cage, my soul a prisoner to the weight of knowing and the terror of what I cannot.
