"I DON’T KNOW"
An admission of incompetence, recognition of inability,
confession of ignorance
I admit it “I don’t know”. I admit it to you my father.
Yet I do not feel condemned; I feel liberated!
I feel the burden of the decision and the outcome lift from
me and transfer to you.
I brought myself to where I am now; I thought I knew exactly
where I wanted to be
I was careful, I checked the signs, I followed the
instructions, I was careful
But I couldn't see beyond the present of what is now past
and now in the present, as I look back and I see that I didn't see it all!
So, here I am... stuck.
I don’t know if I should go forward or backward, left or
right; so I’ll sit in place ... until my help comes.
I don’t know which way to go.
Can I hand the decision over to you now? You are omniscient.
You start from the end, so you know it all!
I am your child; please guide me in the right path. I
thought I knew what I was doing, but I don’t. I thought I knew where I was
going, but I don’t. So I’ll do no more. I’ll stand in place and wait for you to
give me light.
