Overconfident negligence
Jenna Binns 1994 (Iowa)
Ignorance is bliss,
Until once concealed secrets are exposed.
All hope of denial snuffed in the moment complete realization of your overconfident
negligence finally sinking in.
Are you capable of acceptance?
Or
fueled by hypocritical purity and deceitful excuses?
Those which create the illusion of true innocence deep within.
How long will I suffer
this poisonous suspense
Before being presented with what path has been chosen?
Is it going to be one of defensive justifications?
Or maybe that of genuine remorse and humility?
Time spent in silence cannot be recovered. Let not fear nor disappointment waste even one moment of it.
