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.
