Knowledge/Ignorance
a group of friends
was what we were
use to be all innocent
use to be ignorant
not thinking of anything
of each other or the world
five years have passed
and what have we learned?
we've learned how to hate
we've learned how to pick each other's weaknesses
to use them as our weapons
as we now duel each other
hungry for a downfall
we crave for each other's mistakes
pointing them out
at every chance we get
we've become so deceiving
we've become so suspicious
that we now have to watch our backs
for fear we might get stabbed
damn this knowledge!
all it does is cause paranoia
amongst us innocent ones
or at least we use to be
i look at us now
and cry and cry
asking myself why
how, how did we become such enemies
everything adds up to this knowledge
so drain my brain of this pain that is knowledge
i want to go back to my puffy cloud of smooth silky sheer ignorance
"ignorance is bliss"
..............................................................................
just a little something, i wrote it when i realized a weird gap in my group of friends. everyone seemed so distant at the time, and everone talking smack about this one and that. it made me sick, but i am one of them, i've been one of them for the longest time. i always disected everyone, and over analyzed them. i pointed out flaws, but no one's perfect, and i'm obviously not either. i guess i was trying to run from my own problems, and when there were no more flaws to point out, i was forced to analyze myself-hence the breakdowns i would have every once in awhile. i hated looking at myself, and i would be desperate for something else to focus on. i'm not so sure that i still do that anymore, but if i do, i don't realize it. and for my friends out there, feel free to correct me when i get out of line. sometimes i just need a good slap in the face.
thanx for putting up with me, i know it's not easy at times
