Don't want to know

I don’t want to know more
Of what I already do
I don’t want to learn more
Than I could bear
I don’t want to remember
Every single little thing
I don’t want to live with
Yet another curse
Won’t you take it away?
My memories and wits
I don’t want anything at all
That has to do with it.

I couldn’t account on
When this disease started to spread
I couldn’t acknowledge
On what is the cause of this ailment
Even naming it became
So much like a sin

Please take it away, won’t you take it away
The memories I work so hard to rid

I don’t want to know more
Of what I already acquired
I don’t want to learn more
More than I could intake
I don’t want to be reminded
Of every little thing I knew
I don’t want to take another step
In a land forbidden to sanity
Won’t you take it away?
Lighten my load
I don’t want it all
Why am I the only one?

I don’t want to know more
Anymore than this
I don’t want it learned
I’m ok with what I already have
I don’t want to be imposed
On things I have no control
I don’t want it all
Won’t you take it away?
And all the responsibilities
that come along with it
