The Real Bliss Of Ignorance

A piece I believe in.

Believing in society,

Believing in change.

Thinking You make a difference.

Opening your eyes,

To the faux.

To the deceit.

You're naive.

Young.

You think life is your own movie.

You as the super hero.

Saving the day, and

Your gracious reward?

Happiness.

Your innocence is pure,

Born from the love

You have known so well.

Momma hides you.

From the evil that surrounds you.

Little does she know,

That when you face it

Head on.

Without Warning ...

Your the only one hurt.

An interesting flow of opinions about life. I tend to believe that "reality" is what you believe, thus it is a choice that one makes to be hurt by it or not. While I also believe that it is a parents job to ease a child into the mainstream events that we call life. It's also their job to shove them out when they hesitate to take those first few steps.
This poem speaks truly... yet I feel it only considers a small wedge of what people may hold true.

Thanks for sharing your ink!

It does come from my perspective so in a way it can be from only one small wedge of what we all hold true. I wrote this piece really to emphasize what can go wrong. How painful we can be to each other. How sometimes society is an unstoppable evil.

I think we have all been there or at least to within a close approximation of the there you depict in your 'The Real Bliss of Ignorance' Nicely put

I agree that we can "over-protect" our children. We need to let them fall on occasion...to get a back bone...to obtain thicker skin. Otherwise...we are setting them up for failure...to be future door mats.

[Ranger Nadaly]

Exactly. I feel like society can be one of the cruelest things in the world, especially as a kid it can be traumatizing.

[Muse]

only if your parents shove you into a closet before letting you experience the world...with two kids of my own...I will try not to be guilty of this.

I think sometimes we humans are just unlucky at times. We have all fallen as a victim to society, just some more then others. Sometimes it can be stopped and sometimes it cant.

[Lydia Shutter]

Indeed, our parents do shelter us from the real world. All too soon we learn the ins and outs, the deceit and feel our own vulnerability. Good write. Lydi**

Thank you, its one of my favorites. Something I don't see confronted often in writing.

"Your" in this case is a possessive. Write it 'You're."


I believe we can make a difference.

Thanks, I corrected it. Grammar and punctuation can be tricky I feel.
I hope we can make a difference.
