May #16

It's funny how sometimes I refuse to learn things,
let my curiosity get - well, not the better of me
but in control of me. 
Even after it's caused me so much pain
I will continue to pursue knowledge,
and maybe it's because
I have an inner quest for honesty
rather than comfort. 
It sounds true enough to me,
and so
I won't curtail my questions
or stop my subtle looking.
I just have to be prepared
for all the hurt that comes 
with looking when you're not supposed to.
(It's not just discovered presents,
but discovered crushes,
discovered hates.
And when I find them,
I must remember
it is my own fault.)
