To Know Or Not To Know

When faced with a troubling question It may be better to not Know To live and not Know the the answer To live and not know the truth Without knowledge it may prevent sorrow To live while knowing To live while seeing Moving forward without blocking It won't prevent any sorrow It won't stop joy from showing To know or not know what is on the other side of the mind's fence Not knowing allows imagination This suspense may seem better With knowledge you will know if it is better You will also know if it is not Is it better to know or to just happily dwell in the darkness

It could be at your own or someone your close too's expense but it may not hurt anyone. You have to ask yourself do you only want to know what is necessary or do you want knowledge for the sake of having knowledge
