When The Sadness Comes

When the sadness comes
Seemingly out of no where
Our first instinct is to suppress it
To shake it off and struggle to lift our spirits

But one wise person told me
To embrace the sadness
Let it engulf you
Let the process complete itself

We may not know where the sadness came from
Whether it was triggered from a memory
A word spoken, a sound
Or even a TV show

By letting it flow through you
Letting the emotions run free
Allowing the thoughts to take you
To that place deep inside

Maybe then will we understand it
Find the root of the sadness
Or maybe just find a way
To let it go

When the sadness comes
Don't be afraid or shy away from it
Let it be a part of you
Experience it to the fullest

Then let go of it
Learn from it
Be thankful for it
Let it mold you into becoming a better you
