You could know everything, But that won't mean a **** thing If you don't start listening. Listening to yourself. To your body. To your friends and family. Listening to the people Who ask for information. Because they won't be interested In what you have to say If you don't care about What they have to say.

Listen
Soon we'll meet, Soon everyone will know, The world we'll conquer will the first one to bow, The boundaries that keep us apart will break, Our love will show them their place, They'll keep the hatred but will know us as brave.

Apart
When did conversation become argumentation? This form of abuse derived from self irritation, just drives me in the opposing direction of where you'd like me to go, there's many destinations that I haven't been shown, cultivation leading me to venture on my own. You push and shove for me to grow up already, but agitation won't make it easier to speed through others lined up in front of me. If you could just see how much I've been through, most of it alone, if you could view just how far I've kept motivation, then someday we might actually get close to were we've been heading this whole time. Line after line and you have yet to add any up, you haven't seen my determination, for you just blame it on luck. Whim did consideration become mediation? I've lived every waking moment, just for your approbation, now, everything I've done is incorrect? The treacherous miles I've overcome are now obliviation I'm your head, every turn I make just ends up being another mistake. Something along the lines of aggretion, which in turn left us were we orginally started, or stopped. You always try and take me where you want me though I've come so far already. Sometimes the places you unexpectedly end up are where you're actually supposed to be.

Wrong Directions
Mr. Know It All Who do you think you are? You speak like you know everything when it’s obvious you know nothing. You act like you’re some kind of genius but all you are is a freaking alcoholic. Mr. Know It All You seem to think you’re Christopher Langan the man considered to be the smartest in America. In high school he taught himself things such as advanced math, physics, philosophy, Latin and Greek he allegedly got 100% on his SAT. Mr. Know It All What were your accomplishments? You dropped out of high school your senior year You started smoking and drinking when you were 15. You led one daughter to suicide and you treat the other like she’s an idiot. Mr. Know It All Are you Kim Ung-Yong in your mind? He could read Korean, Japanese, English and German by the time he was three. Moved to America to work at NASA when he was eight. Mr Know It All You’re forty-four and you can’t even speak one other language let alone four. You’ve never worked at NASA you work in a warehouse. Mr. Know It All You are not a genius you are an alcoholic you have little accomplishments and the tragedies you cause out weigh them by tons. Mr. Know It All Give up and shut up we don’t want to hear it. Stop drinking you’re quieter when you’re sober and we like the quiet. Mr. Know it All The words coming from your mouth are not intelligent, and I’m done listening to them. Goodbye and have a great life.
