Ignorance is Bliss
sometimes
looking back on things
life to me
wasn't so great
i think that the best things
were the times when i didn't
feel so alone
when people talked to me
like i
was a human being
when people talked to me
at all
when the ignorance
of my so-called
"problem"
was the best thing i had
it described me
it taught me
it
became me
i became the definition of my illness
the festering void inside me
waiting to consume me
all of me
my friends
my family
all became nothing to me
looking back
my ignorance of myself
was a gift
it helped me ignore the fact
that i might die
just because
my brain told me to
the problem
with being anxious
is that you care too much
of everything
the problem
with depression
is not caring about anything
having both
is a death sentence
the depression about
the people ignoring me
made me
ignore myself
