Highs and Lows by Morgan Harper Nichols

For the highs and lows
and moments between
mountains and valleys
and rivers and streams,

For where you are now
and where you will go,
For "I've always known"
and "I told you so"

For "nothing is happening"
and "all has gone wrong"
It's here in this journey
you will learn to be strong

You will get where you're going,
landing where you belong.
