Grudges are too expensive

I once held on to a grudge

for so long, I forgot how
the conflict actually started.
I let the anger build an
entire city in my hands,
and I was the mayor
for more years than
I'm comfortable admitting.
Since then, I've realized
that this kind of rage
is not worth its carry,
and forgiveness is a little
hard to find, but it's the only
town I want to live in.
It's quiet here
and real estate is cheaper.
