Words Of a Feather

Earth is turning

It used to stop for me during every solemn sorrow

Everyone would stop for me until I could get back up

And I could lift them up while they were feeling down

Yet the Earth keeps turning in the end

After I’m done growing, the Earth will be done stopping

It can’t stop for me and let me take a day off when I feel down

It can’t stop for me when I fall behind

It can’t stop for me when I finally find my peace or tear a new dress of distress

It can’t stop for me to finish this poem

The Earth will keep spinning and moving even when I’m gone
