Blissful Ignorance

Knowing is the hardest part.

Before that, it doesn't hurt quite as much.

But after you discover the honest truth

and all the things that are really happening

behind another person—a friend's—eyes,

your whole world can be turned upside-down.

Knowing is the hardest part.

If you didn't know, you could stay the same,

just as you have always been up until then.

"Knowledge is power." But power comes with a cost.

Especially when you have to say give an honest opinion

about the things that you have learned.

Knowing is the hardest part.

Sometimes, they won't forgive you

even if you never actually meant to hurt them.

And, in all honesty, you've been hurt as well.

Everything that you know has been broken

and you long once more for blissful ignorance.
