It’s gonna be alright, Kid.
After this,
there’ll be another day.
Not every sun sets on tragedy.
Not every breath comes
in tears and pain.
It’s gonna be alright again.
Your heart will mend.
Your body will heal.
Your mind will find
new thoughts to make you smile.
Not everything in this world
is meant to make sense,
and once you understand that,
you’ll see what really does.
Don’t be afraid of days like these.
Don’t mistake these moments for defeats.
You will learn to rise
every time you fall,
and find what’s most important after all.
It’s gonna be alright.
No need to make the night
darker than it already is.
The sun will come
and color will remain
in the world,
in your life again.
