Blissful Ignorance

My cries for help get lost in translation,

Running out of patience- Wasting so much time on this,

If this is what knowledge brings- Then teach me no more,

Cuz ignorance is bliss.

And I'm chasing happiness while dwelling upon the depression,

Is it just a painful lesson or another step in regression?

Moving in the wrong direction- My mind's elected to quit,

Somehow I selected this shit- I should've protected my d**k.

When I screamed fuck the world.

Where do I go from here?- Face my insecurities or run from my fears?

I'm different from my peers- The years have made me smarter.

I'm harder than coldest killer- But more fragile than the man of glass,

Before they even knew me I was branded trash.

I was handed a stash of rhymes and black ink pen,

Then the bruises started to surface and you saw I was blue within.

I've brought you in- I told you I lost a...

Stop.

I won't speak of that situation- I'm replacing the guilt with greed,

A confidently cocky swagger- An alluring arrogance is seen.

It's apparently obscene and apparently I'm mean,

Cuz I extend my hand to no man who joined then left my team.

You're left with a scene from this movie- It's soothing.

To hear the hurt of another- Because you recognize the symptoms,

The pain is uplifting-For this moment you've been waiting,

Enter you're own translation- Cuz now you've gotta live with this,

Be thankful that you know no better- Just live within the ignorance...

Cuz ignorance is truly bliss.
