Foribben

I wish for what’s forbidden.

something that should be mine.

I laugh inside,

knowing that it will shine.

I wish for what’s forbidden.

Author’s Note

I can’t stop the feeling of wanting to know everything. I have an intense desire for knowledge. Not to boast or be better than anybody else, but simply I love learning. I want to become the best version of myself and sometimes I feel like that is forbidden as if society is stopping us from our full potential. I wish to reach my full potential. I wish that you all could reach your full potential. We could turn the tables!

The Authors Note is a good poem on its own.

I have researched the title - "Foribben" and can't fine any reference other than to an old game... perhaps you could give more info?

I like 'tude - it makes a work more personal - to me. I like the content and framing. Who determines what is forbidden to me? Chuckling here.

So, it's actually from a song called 이브, 프시케 그리고 푸른 수염의 아내 (Eve, Psyche & The Bluebeard’s wife) by a Korean girl group called LE SSERAFIM which if you unscrabbled those letters you get I'm Fearless. It's about women pursing their curoisties.
