Grief carried
Grief was never meant to be explained
And yet I’ve been trained to articulate
Through pain
A trial for my tears
Exposited facts for
objective deliberations
If this
grief is valid
If this
agony merits empathy
This tale is as old as time
A Grimm history
Rewritten as fairytale
A body bought by
The american dream
Condemned to chains
For others’ freedom
Thinking our past
Is to be praised
Is a product of
Privilege
