First There Must Be Sadness

Remember when you were young

Oh what sadness did to you then

Took you all apart didn’t it?

That was the way it was back when

 

Yes, sadness takes you out of your self

Into a world where other creatures dwell

Like anger, hurt or despair

 

These are feelings too, often associated with loss

You can see them as companions to this primary feeling

 

Your task here is to let them be

Feelings need to flow

And they will flow right through you

 

Try it now that you are sad

Try it and see what happens

It will pass, all of these other feelings did

So will this one, just let it flow

 

There will be truth for you later

But first, there must be sadness
