Ignorance Is BlissA Poem by TJB
Overhead a bright blue sky
Followed by a tranquil orange sunset An aura of happiness when surrounded by friends True contentedness So why is this the moment I feel dread? Newfound bubbles of realization interrupt my psyche Was my contentment just repetition with a colorful bow Had I been seeing the world through colored lenses when I felt the world was grayscale Repressed emotions should be dripping from my eyes Instead of living life was I playing house Should I remain within this iron maiden Whose spikes are coated to keep me sedated Or embrace that which the masses do Once again I see the sky so blue Until the sunset once again glows like a forest fire The path I chose to follow I won't say Accept it and pretend this never happened After all Ignorance is bliss © 2020 TJB |
