Grudge

This is a poem describing the value we sometimes place on hurt feelings.
Held tightly, as though made of solid gold,
Embellished with precious stones is the grudge.
Tucked into a soft nest in the memory,
And clasped against the heart.

Never forget the snub or slight,
Couched in coolness or indifference.
Remember the words ignorance and apathy,
I don’t know and I don’t care.
