The world is ending
and I am staring at my feet
I hear the sound of crying
and the hopelessness of the streets
The world is ending
and I am scrolling through my phone
bombarded with the many crises' on Earth
and still fighting that feeling of being alone
The world is ending
and I am passing by a shop
For a minute I think about those jeans
how good I would look in that top
The world is ending
and the sun is going down
I walked a few miles from my work
the cold frigid air following me all over town
The world is ending
and I am fighting back tears
ones that are both happy and sad
because of a good memory and that ever-present fear
The world is ending
and I am almost home
just over the hill to the left
then past the huge garden dome
The world is ending
but I have so much left
even though my optimism has departed
and the unjust in the world has left me bereft
The world is ending
and I can't wait to go to sleep
tomorrow is my weekend
and I am going to the beach
The world is ending
but I still have plans
I'm going to go back to school
travel the earth
make as much money as I can
The world is ending
but I still have things to do
groceries and bills payments for next week
along with a party or two
The world is ending
and I have accepted my fate
doesn't mean I can't be happy
doesn't mean I resort to hate
The world is ending
