Come and Go

Let that sadness come and go

Let that sadness in even when it was never invited

Let that sadness balance out the joy

Let that sadness cleanse your dark matter with streams of salt water

Let that sadness shut you in with a good book or a good friend

But don’t you dare cling too tight

Night after night, feeling the plight

Remember beautiful, it’s going to be alright

So, hold your head high

Look in the mirror and smile at that resilient woman gazing back at you

Humble yourself with gratitude for what you have accomplished

For who you grew to be and for what you’ve gone through

Let that sadness come and go
