Happiness Comes After
You are sad right now and
that’s okay
no one expects you to be the
the sunshine all the time because
darling,
the sun casts shadows too.
Sadness and tragedy will be brought
upon you more times than you
would like causing you to
stumble and fall many times
and it will be then,
that your kindness will be
threatened by the cruel words of hate.
However, the unforgiving universe
will continue to
move forward and age
as will you,
and with that,
you will come to the realization
that
even though the stars will not always
be perfectly aligned like you would like them
to be,
you can still dance with them.
And after all of this has
laid itself upon you,
happiness will pick you up gently
and shield you with hope because
darling,
happiness comes after.
