Pain and Fragility

If we refuse to see, close our eyes, act as if nothing happened
Our innocence will be born from a toxic selective ignorance
Our character is built by knowing the truth and defending it
In a world this confused and screaming or is it indifferent
What allows another to be wounded, without our comprehending
Are we so insensitive or is it arrogance, or disgust, are we fools
Unable to stand upon our own, without conformist societal rules
Are they the rules that limit growth, dismantle our own ability
To become adults, in a violent world of pain and fragility
