Ignorant Wisdom

Ignorance is bliss. 
But only to the wise. 
Who know exactly what to miss,
and when to close their eyes. 

Ignorance is bliss, 
for to know all is a task too tall. 
And those who try are unhappy fools. 

Who search in places they cannot see. 
Like playing a game without the rules, 
with hearts blinded by uncertainty.

I have been a fool many a time...
suffering the losses of futures ideal.

An eternal dreamer without a clue,
never sure of what was real.
Never knowing what to do.

But now I know the deal...and to it I forever toast:

To ignorant wisdom over enlightened folly.
May it lead to days less melancholy.
