And Then Forgive Yourself

You will simply drown in tragedy.
And then forgive yourself.
Your sadness will be the quaking kind; when all really is lost.
And then forgive yourself.
You will be unforgiven.
Then laugh.
And then forgive yourself.
Your sadness will be universal.
And then we forgive ourselves.
Our pain will be unbearable.
And then we are forgiven.

We are always forgiven.
