sitting in bed
alone
have you ever thought about what
people are talking
about when not in sight
maybe nothing
is being said but
how can you know?
do you understand now what is meant by
blissful ignorance
do you ever stop and think
back to when life was simpler, when
worry punished
the mind not and life went on
when the fear you felt was
irrational
and not stemming from the
trenches of your mind
and you don’t yet get the meaning of
blissful ignorance
have you ever pondered
why those bottles stand
beside your bed
or why you must
obsess
to make sure people don’t
think of you poorly
or end up
talking behind your back
when did you lose that
blissful ignorance
ever think about what it’s like to not
permanently space out
while everyone else is having fun and you are
sad and anxious
for no reason
and to not think
everyone hates you
even though you know they don’t
there is power in
blissful ignorance
do you think it’s possible
to return to
blissful ignorance
