Must there be a 'fault' at all times?
When people speak, they are weary.
Afraid, self-conscious.
"Everyone will judge." Their thoughts remind them.
Alone, I stand.
Questions asked as if there were no end to them.
One answer brings clarity but many questions as well
To be judged by everyone is not what I fear.
What I fear is to live in ignorance.
Better to make a fool of myself for a moment rather than dwell in the absence of knowledge.
In the future, I will teach
When that day comes, I hope
My children will also see the way I see.
