it's the thing with the most value
the things that will keep others away
said the late 90s dirty-haired grunge sulker
a hyperbole yet there's truth to this
we see people who own tragedies as a way
of adding value to themselves, as we all know tragedies
have weight
if no one owns the tragedies then they cannot be undone
they cannot be fixed
and justice cannot be served
so we must not hold on to these tragedies
we must give them up
the tragedies of other people
can be held in our hearts
but they are not our own
but their value can still be measured
in weight
for they show how strong
our hearts are
