Who shall I be?

Do I want to live in ignorance

And find beauty in small things?

Or do I want to learn more about this world

And find misery in small things?

Do I want to live in the shadow

And think my pearl necklace is magic?

Or do I want to learn more about this world

And realize the ethics of jewelry?

Do I want to know?

Do I have a duty to know?

Will I be depressed?

Shall I begin to express

My nihilism and pessimism

On a global scale?

Or shall I live in the shadow 

Where my happiness is preserved

Like an eco-friendly chamber

Where there are no echoes

And no turmoil

Who shall I be?
