Analysis of IF I KNEW...
If I knew the way I had show you
because I don’t, I have to find it,
If I knew the pain points of life,
I had gladly map them out for you
but for my ignorance I have to go through each one.
If I knew success and he had call me by name
I had introduce him to you
since nothing fulfills the void of emptiness except to share ones riches,
Were I to know the ways of love I had enjoy it,
and then share with you secrets to that rich emotion and grace you long for.
I do not have the answers you seek,
the road looks uphill and uncharted
Do not be sad, I have not much to give,
I am looking for and unraveling the answers too

About this poem
This poem is a deep reflection about how people look up to us for answers we do not have and an honest reflection, that we do not have the answer.
