Sometimes I wish I could be a fool,
Take things at face value
Not endlessly question
But accept, as some do
Sometimes I wish I could see less clearly
Stop doubting sincerity
Be less of a skeptic
Of what we call reality
Sometimes I yearn for ignorance
Most blissful of faults
To not know seems better
Than to constantly redraw
A portrait of the world
Threatening to consume
This false life that I **** at
Where others, truth assume.
But, 'tis better to doubt,
Than to tell yourself lies
Because untruth is the facade
Emptiness sits behind
I'd rather seek wisdom, full of all these thoughts
Than be a fool, wasting days being something I'm not.
