The Joy of Tragedy

You fear for tomorrow,
Run away from sorrow,
And inside you're jaded -
The very thing you hated.

"There's nothing I can do;"
Your own thoughts mislead you.
It's okay to grieve:
Let all your sorrows leave.

You scream your painful pleas,
Hoping for some release.
Ask and you shall receive -
It's true; don't be deceived.

It's time to start anew,
And see a different view.
'Cause better's yet to come;
Your life has just begun!

Time to live what you've learned,
And work for what you've earned.
We all deserve much worse,
But were saved from that curse.

So know that you are free,
And hopefully you'll see
Health in the malady;
Joy in this tragedy.
