Know More by Alexandra Fleege

Know More

I am free to be and to play, to laugh and to run 

I am free to sing and dance and say what I feel and see.  

I am free to fly with birds or swim with fish 

A world of endless possibility

I know no bounds

I know no rules I play all day, but soon I will know more

I sit and read, wishing to be outside

I sit and listen, wondering why am I here in this place

I sit, and obey

I sit and try to obey

I am free know more

I go to school all day, and then I still don’t play

I study and study wants to make a way

I try to laugh I try to sing

Somehow   everything is different now 

I now care what people say

I don’t want to care but I do

I work all day

Hoping to make a comfortable way

They look to me

And what do I say?

Have fun be free

Play and play

I sit once more tired and alone

And now I feel like I have done not much

And soon I too will be, know more

I wish I didn’t know so much

Like lemonade on a summer’s day

I am ready to once again play all day.

Do I see what I can?

Or am I completely blinded by what I know?

Where once I saw I can see , know more

Where once I went , I do not visit

Strange is the day I fade away

Glad once again I am free to play
