Theory of Knowledge Class - “Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of reason as a way of knowing.”

I’m headed for a new land, 

Somewhere that I can re-evaluate what it is I have.

Somewhere that I can find what it is I’m missing.

Somewhere that I can level out.

Where I can break what it is I know, 

And fix everything I do not understand.

I am covered with freckles, mom says they adorn my limbs.

A finger tappin’ on the knee, leg shaking underneath the dinner table, my blouse a little too low for family gatherings, old loafers on my feet, kinda gal.

And yes, I know this.

I know that the marks beneath my nylons, aren’t because I don’t have any pictures of you.

I know their not complimenting my pale skin as those freckles do, 

And I know that when I clear my throat to speak my name, I’m not nervous about what the invisible thought bubble above their heads have inside of them. 

Or wether they’ll make a plan to love me, 

Or to snicker. 

I know that when I try to speak, I can’t seem to find words.

I know that when everything is lonely, I open up the glass jar that inside has your heart.

And even though it doesn’t beat, I know that it will stop me from wondering.

I know that I think too much, 

And I know that I need just wait and see. 

But I don’t know why I can’t.

My future has got me worried, and I keep watching this fan of pictures, blowing with the wind in front of my face.

And I’m just too afraid of all this change.

There is a list of things to do,  but nothing gets crossed out.

And I try to take some comfort from your written words, 

But I know I can’t handle this much longer.

And I know the glass jar that held your heart has been stolen.

This is why I need to find a new land.

I know I need to search for new soil to sink my toes into.

Because I know nothing about everything.

And everything seems so simple, when nothing is in the way.
