SADNESS & GLADNESS II 12-17-14 w h mollohan --copyright pending
If, and probably when ... you or I wanna hide
Let’s agree in advance, not to try ... suicide ... or homocide
Even that one of us -- who, eventually, runs out of any more tears to cry
Because it IS gonna be you, or me -- & sadness ain’t a reason to die
Yea, that’s right – sadness is just a wake-up call
But, not a reason to throw away – it all
So, I WILL call a friend, the crisis line, or just dial 9-1-1
That’s where I start – I don’t hafta hide – I don’t hafta run
Yea, sadness is a big, bad mother of a nasty message
Telling me that I am messin’ up & headed toward major wreckage
But, I’ve got options, family, friends -- & I WILL get better …
Anger turned deeply inward ... or outward -- ain’t nuthin’ …
but a weak ... terrible ... temporary, NON-answer
