Death is a given
Yet a shock
Grief breaks down
Even the mightiest rock
Each one reacts differently
It may not always show
But whether you shatter inside or out
Grief helps your psyche grow
First, the world seems bleak
Then the missing kicks in
But with time you reminisce fondly
With your heart glowing warmly within
Once you go through the journey
And outlive the immense pain
Petty troubles won’t bother you anymore
Your new-found strength will keep you sane
