The World Stops for Nothing

The world stops for nothing

grief does not slow

the turn of the Earth

sorrow can’t make

the bills disappear

pain doesn’t stop

events from happening

loss cannot make

the day fade away any slower

each and every

day can’t wait

for fear, depression,

self-loathing, or confusion

to step down,

leave, or go away

light gives way to dark

night gives way to day

the time must pass

all the same

despite your aching

or broken heart

the world goes on

the Earth, it must turn

rain falls

the sun will shine

ice melts

death and creation

life and destruction

The world stops for nothing
