Shake off Sadness

Make haste, make free, make water, make a wish,
Make up, make over, make the grade, make peace,
Break up, break bread, break kneecaps, break a lease,
Break heads, break hearts, break grandma's supper dish.
We make and break so easily, we fish
For compliments we don't deserve, increase
The pressure on our friends, apply the grease
When they seem slow to praise, and liverish.

Tell me I'm wonderful, and take my hand
(Take care, take cover, take a break, take stock)
And reassure me gently. As you talk,
Make certain that you break down every strand
Of subtle argument at your command,
And we'll take time to smile, and take a walk.
