“The Nature of Ignorance”

There’s a saying that reads

“Ignorance is bliss.”

This is me pretending to know people

When I barely understand myself.

This is me in a crowded room

Acting like I know what’s being said,

Masquerading as the fool

In the perpetual dance

The infinite game

Where the players laugh with me…

Or so I’ve always thought.
