the centre of the universe is not a real place and you are not it

it is awful that world doesn't stop for your grief,
but moves on, and it is awful,
that we must still plant crops,
when they're gone, and it is awful,
that life is so brief and it is awful, just awful,
that their loved ones are not dead too
and it is awful, purely awful,
that they are not suffering along
with you and it truly is awful,
that you cannot just make them feel
a fragment of your pain and it is awful
that if you visit it upon them
in the name of education then.
then the cycle starts again
and someone else feels awful
and demands the world cease
forever for their grief.

Yes. Break the skin barrier of shared pain, idk. But this was good.

Lot of people experiencing more grief than they can handle right now and being weird and occasionally horrible about it, IDK either. Poetry helps me. Wish it helped anyone else.
