Learning

Matt

There is so much I must still learn

Things I need to know

But no-one can teach me

Because I cannot be taught

I learn from experience

Through sights and sounds

Through action and emotion

What is written in textbooks

Will never be teachable to me

I have to see it

Hear it

Do it

Feel it

 

And I am learning

Every day

Discovering things I never knew

Like my triggers

And the way I respond

Things you will not find in books

Or be taught in a classroom

But can only learn

By living

Yo, hi, hello. I'm just your standard sarcastic, cynical, satirical guy who doesn't care much for acting in an 'age appropriate' manner, whatever that means. I write poetry and short stories. Want to know anything else? -> https://mspoetry.com/whos-matt

  1. Beautiful and so true. As a former professor, I realized that no amount of information would help the students who have not learned that their education is truly in their own hands. I am just a vessel used. They have to be willing to take action and risks. Great post.
