Not Now

I see the sadness in your eyes.
I know what you are going through.
I want to tell you it will be ok.
But that would be a lie.
You will suffer
as we all do.
I want to comfort you.
I want to hold you tight.
I want you to know
it will be alright.
In the end.
But not right now.
Not at this moment.
This is you must face.
The change you must embrace.
Without it, you will be forever lost.
To yourself.
To your potential.
You will find peace again.
You will once again know happiness.
But not right now.
Muddle through.
Buckle down.
Rant and cry if need be.
Let it out.
Let it go.
In the end, you will see
everything has a purpose,
a reason to be.
