Living in ignorance


Living in ignorance
 
I live in ignorance,
I tend not to think.
If the truth hits me,
It's hard to live.
 
When the thoughts in my mind,
Reminds me of whatever isn't mine,
I divert ny attention, 
The pain in another direction.
 
 
Sometimes my eye catches a few things,
Reminds me of what didnt stay.
I pretend I didn't see it.
I roll my eyes, look the other way.
 
I sleep my pain away,
I eat my pain away.
I try not to feel it,I get busy.
I shut the pain away.
 
I live in ignorance,
I tend not to think.
If the truth hits me,
It's hard to live.
