Books, reading, learning, and knowing.
I have a hunger for knowledge and I think it's showing.
I'm always searching everything and everyone wanting more.
I need to know it all. Want to be the smartest girl in the world.
Someone says the name of a book,
I'll search for it, find it, and then I'm hooked.
I'll read a couple words, then a few pages.
Chapters fly by as I find my self caged in.
I have to know all, and even after the book ends.
I still have so many unanswered questions.
I'm addicted to knowledge.
I want to know everything!
Why is the sky blue? Why is the grass green?
How does it work? And what does it do?
Where do they come from? And how where they raised?
What is important now? And what's all the rage?
If I here a question, even from across the room,
I will find an answer, or go nuts trying to.
I'm not a know it all, but I sure try to to be.
If this is bad of me then I am sorry.
I am just so hungry with a need to know more.
I study until I feel there's nothing left to know.
But there is always something else!
And more books on more shelfs.
If I hear of something that I know nothing about,
Then I will know by tomorrow, that there is no doubt.
There are people to study, to learn, and to know.
There are animals, places, and whos-its and whats-its galore.
It may drive some of them nuts,
But I can't help myself.
Will I ever cure my addiction to learning?
Probably not, but just maybe, that's a good thing.
