Fake Little Bubble

Ignorant people are probably the happiest.
They do not worry about the horrid truth,
but instead hide inside a bubble of false hope.

I guess it's probably one of their greatest weaknesses as well.
Not knowing that sorrow hangs over their shoulder,
or that Death is holding out his hand like some random pedestrian.

I once wish to have this Gift.
but as I grew older,
life gave me the opportunity to see that ignorant people are generally the saddest and the loneliest of all.

I pity those type of people now.
Hoping that one day they'll grow out of that mind set,
and hopefully grow out of their fake little bubble of hope.

Yeah, whatever you've penned into the poem's all truth and I do agree with the poem. It's true and I think, they just need some sympathy but if you do so to give 'em then you'll surely get hurt in return and I 've happen to known this ... this poem's again an amazing poem. I think, you too write about realities and which's very good because me too love writing about inspirations, reality and so on ... that shows the fact and motivate 'em.
.......
Very great job n now I can say that you should 100% move towards to pursue your dream of writing novels .. go on. Your dream's just awaiting for you!
..............
All the best!

Thank you Cid, I really do appreciate your comment and I will take your advice to heart.

I like how you play with "ignorance is bliss" and turn it around at the end, the simple tone of the poem helps the reader to fully understand what your doing with the message. I dont particularly think gift needs to be capitalized though.

like your words here "Not knowing that sorrow hangs over their shoulder,
or that Death is holding out his hand like some random pedestrian.
I found this grabbed me...
Ignorance is bliss,and that gets to me too.

Over the last few days I have thinking about what you said. Unfortunately I have found an answer to your question (although it's not here anymore). I believe in the idea that ignorance is bliss, but I also believe that ignorance is a curse. In the world I grow up in, ignorance has always caused more problems for me. I truly wish that one day I can be ignorant to life's problems. I hope you understand, I'm not trying to be mean. I just want you to know my point of view on the matter.
