  11. More than you imagined “Perhaps you specialized more than you imagined” this part of the poem states that we focus on reality more than on imagination. Someday our imagination will take over and It will use the knowledge that we have gained over the years and use it against us. At times, the mind will get tired of learning and it will just give up and die out. Insanity. At times, knowledge can make you insane.
