The Quiet Weight of Not Knowing

There is a silence
that wears no sound—
not the peace of rest,
but the absence of reaching.

It lives in closed questions,
in eyes that look but do not see,
in minds that build walls
where doors once waited.

Ignorance is not empty—
it is full of what we refuse:
truths left unread,
lessons left untouched,
paths we never dared to walk.

But somewhere,
in the smallest moment of honesty,
a crack appears—
a whisper: learn.

And in that fragile space,
where pride begins to loosen,
light enters—
not to shame,
but to show.

For the moment we admit
“I do not know,”
is the moment we begin
to understand.
