Ignorance is Bliss
Just finding out
how cruel we can be
The humanity I knew
is only a dream
Never knew
what I could never see
Read that "Ignorance is Bliss"
and I'm just finding out
what that's all about
yet I still don't know
so much
I'm scared, but I guess:
We all have an impact
and we must not forget that.

I recently watched a movie that really struck me because of its severe nature. As a high school freshman, I'm starting to find out so much I never knew about the world. Not all of it is good, but at the same time, I try to remember that we are all creating our world at this moment. What we bring can change the world, and we all have a voice. People like Malala, John Lewis, and Rosa Parks have changed the world through their actions. And we can do the same.
This poem is a testimony to this privilege we all process. It is an urgent reminder to anyone who has ever felt helpless or scared. You're not alone!
