The world won’t wait for hearts to heal,
It carries on despite how we feel.
Some days, the battles weigh us down,
And few take notice as we drown.
We smile through hurt, conceal our tears,
We chase our dreams with hidden fears.
No map, no guide, just roads unknown,
The journey’s steep when walked alone.
No rest for grief, no time to mend,
Just one more step, then one again.
The hardest truth we come to know,
Is life moves forward and will not slow.
But in that fight, that climb, that strain,
We find our strength inside the pain.
A whisper soft, yet firm and true—
“Keep going… The world needs you.”
— David Ritter
