A poem in the rush of things

Stop


I never wanted more than this
This was all it was meant to be
A life of broken promises, of cheating and deceit
This is the life the world was giving me
And I took it
In the spinning and twirling of this world
I danced in all its glory
Ignorance is bliss is what they say, oh it’s what they say
But I found a secret, wrapped in all of the leaves and the muck
The secret taught me the truth
Now it was my time, do I stay or do I go
Do I truly live or do I die?
In a moment all was lost, in a moment I lost control
The lies were no longer good enough, the deceit was washed away
In my life a hole was filled, a hole I didn’t know existed
When everything is taken away, what will be left?
So I come back to you now with these things to think
If ignorance is bliss, is it worth it?
Is it worth it to die instead of truly live?
