Griever
Here I am in tears over a story that’s never affected me
Baggy eyes from a grief that’s never even mentioned me and yet my own griefs don’t frighten me-
I don’t cry over it, I got over it-
I cry for others but not for me
I’ve realized that I don’t deserve to cry over my grief
Because my grief has convinced me, it’s just a happy memory.
