Happy Sad
To pass a message?
If I may address it with my limited language.
I want you to tell him
I am here to talk to him if he ever wanted to talk
Tell him: we don’t need to do this alone
And that if whatever they said was true,
We are born in his image.
Tell him I know he is sad, I know I am
I am happy; sad
Contempt that I feel that way
Tell him: thank you for the colors & the music
It helps a lot, no one wants to eat bland food
A little spice helps along the way
Tell him: I miss my dad & I hope you’re keeping him company.
I know he likes to share his wisdom around,
Must be lonely when everyone is happy; sad
Tell him: I hope things will be better.
For me and him alike
I know january for him was a hard month
Tell him he doesn't need to sulk around.
I know that he’s as kind as he’s cruel
Tell him: life is not black & white.
Blue doesn't need to be a sad color.
Tell him to add more words into the dictionary
If he ever wants to express how he feels
I am here to listen
We don’t have to do this alone.
Tell him that I love him. Her. It.
Tell him that I miss him.
