Hey Chris,
Great work on this poem, I realy liked the ideas you present throughout. I think it's so true that the more you come to know the more you realise you don't know. Probably why young people think they have all the answers, because they're too naive to know there aren't always answers. On the topic of defining yourself and other people I think it's interesting how people can lash out at others and put them down for being the person they are. I think that is alot to do with subconcious envy; the fact that this person knows who they are and so he who hasn't figured it out yet is running scared. Running to figure it out before somebody beats him to it and he discovers he is someone he doesn't wish to be. Anyway, that's what your poem makes me think of, a little off track I guess but I think that's one of the best things about poetry, the way it can be interpreted by different people.
