Knowledge is sadness.

This poem describes how knowledge is sadness.

I am so bored; nothing satisfies my craving for knowledge. 

I hate how most people do not understand me, maybe I speak in words unknown to them.

What is wrong with me? Why am I cursed with intelligence?

What is common knowledge to me is unknown to most people.

I can barely keep friends because they do not understand my vocabulary and diction is too large.

I get bored easily, my brain craves to know answers to everything. 

Most people cannot understand me. 

Knowledge is power, but it is also loneliness and separation.

The more you know, the less you enjoy things because they bore you easily. 

Knowledge leads to isolation, because some people just do not understand the things that you know.

Part of knowledge is being sad and lonely.

aw, I can't help but relate to this one, while I do not think my intelligence has kept me from making friends, I do understand the feeling of losing friendships and the feeling that the relationship is weakening. I can relate to the feeling of loneliness. While knowledge is power, I guess sometimes it can also bring sadness especially when it prevents us from creating long lasting friendships. However, with that being said, there will always be people who value your high intelligence and will want to be your friend nonetheless! I'm sure of it! knowledge could bring sadness to some, but an advantage to others! Thanks for sharing !
