All I Need to Live - Yes It's for a Scholarship but it's Also to Get It Off My Chest
They say we need air, food and water to stay alive
We simply need them to survive
For me to truly Live I need to learn
Knowledge is the greatest gift that can be given, the greatest thing you can earn
I remember the first time I realized I could learn anything I wanted,
“I need this, I want this, I have to have this… this learning.”
I need to learn simple things like how to do taxes and balance a checkbook
I need to learn how to live on my own
I need to learn to love more
I need to learn
I want to learn
Learning is so important that it defies form and reason
One word, three words, four words, whatever it takes to express the importance of learning
Learning
I love learning
I need to learn
Even I need to learn how to express how important learning is to me
All I know already has come from learning
From successes I have learned
From failures I have learned more
Call me a failure you will learn the two sounds of me hitting you and you hitting the ground
Anything I learn from is a success
Learning means winning to me
I could be stranded on an island or in a forest or on a mountain
I may need food, water, shelter and air
But I’ll only live through it if I can learn
You’ll find me studying the world around me to get what I need
Water can be found here, here and here
Food, I’ve learned to get what I need by looking in the right places
Some shelters work better to keep you safe from exposure
Air, look around, learn to see what you already have
Learning
I won’t ever give up learning
I need to learn to live
And I need to learn, to live.
