I WENT BACK

I thought I knew it all.

I thought I was standing strong.

I thought I could do it perfectly.

I taught several people about it.

I had given different people advice on it.

I had even gathered people to train them on it.

Those who knew it and discovered that I was out of the box,

offered to teach me for free but I told them I knew it.

They came and sat me down to advise me on it,

But like a peacock,

I flaunted my achievement,

and rejected their offer.

I really believed I knew it.

It became Dawn on me that I knew nothing when the test came.

The test came when I least expected.

At this time everyone has given up on me because I was stubborn.

Stubborn and bent on not learning.

I took the test but I failed.

I failed in that same thing I thought I knew.

I failed in that same thing that I taught several people.

I failed in that same thing that people wanted to teach me.

I was pained.

I began to regret every actions I took but it was too late.

I had to go back.

Yes! I went back.

I went back to learn that which I have taught thousands of people.

I went back to learn that which I thought I knew.

I went back to learn that which people offered to teach me for free.

I went back to learn that same thing.

I was pained.

Pained that I had to pay.

Pay for what I would have gotten for free.

I was pained.

Pained that I had to waste time.

Time on something that I would have gotten for long.

The truth is, I went back!

I went back to learn,

to correct my mistakes,

to make the necessary amendments.

I went back!
