did you ever stop wondering?

Think too much, act too little
Sinking now in the realms of thought
Actions seem so feeble
Actions almost for naught

Thoughts are the only escape
From the reality of the complex
Ideas that leave one perplexed
Dissolved into simple concepts

Thinking things can be better
Hoping for things to come
Sinking more in the realms of thought
Hoping I can do something

Dead. That’s what I want to be,
like heroes, forever etched
in the memories of those who live
But not now, not today
Not until I have known everything
Not until I have known myself

Mysterious life has much to offer,
Knowledge to be found everywhere

But now I start to wonder
If this quest will falter

Possible is it to have
Full knowledge of myself?
