The Secrets Of Learning

The script called for a meaningless pause
I held my breath for a bit too long
the silence that interrupted us
was meant to be heard by everyone

Soft-spoken and without conviction
Well-practiced but still inadequate
It’s what you’re paid to do
So you should care
Endlessly, we achieve by how we fail
Endlessly, we achieve by how we fail

All we know is what you’ve shown us
Better than to never notice
