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.
