You Can Be Sad

It’s okay

By Jack FriendPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Life’s highs and lows

I get that

Sometimes

You have to be sad

And believe it or not

Sadness is more important

Than happiness

It shows you what you are

What do you have?

What do you need?

It shows mistakes

It breaks and teaches

It reaches

And when it’s done

You’re ready

To get back up.
