having to understand
most thing isnt really
always a positive thing

when you understand,
you feel a deeper pain
you dont just feel for yourself
but for somebody else.
it could be someone
you've known for long
or not at all

to understand,
is to be affected willingly
to be involved in their minds

when they disintegrate
into fine ashes,
so do you

to understand
is to be a shadow
inevitably
