The ocean is the place
That’s kept,
All the tears,
The tears we’ve wept.

It holds our sorrows
It keeps our cries,
And that’s why its lead,
To so much demise.

But in the ocean
Not too deep,
The colors grow,
The colors seep.

Into the ocean from the reefs
They flow through water,
They filter our hells,
Bringing dark clouds

Out of the water, turned into the sound,
The sound of happiness unbound.

I found that it helps me to get though a hard time when I remember that it will be better another day. this was my way of explaining that circle of emotions.
