I was listening to Erykah Badu’s Bag Lady and I felt inspired. It is time to shed the old for the new and move into the phase of internal spring cleaning. I hope you enjoy the poetry:
A table is set in front of you
Take chances and believe
Are you too pessimistic for hope in greater things?
Have you matured beyond the happiness that unpacking brings?
Lady let go of those bags your carrying
They will only limit where you can go…
The conversation begins…
Stop flashing those lights on my secrets
Don’t speak of pain you don’t know
When you were out struggling to survive, I felt every blow
Now you want me to let go
How about, NO
I won’t allow you to forget the hurt that echoes
Through the chambers of your heart
Rapid sensations of love gained and lost
Left as quick as it came
But I’m a soldier, so I never complain
But you want me to forget now
I kept going even when you stressed me
Running around accepting anything for the sake of company
I’m done protecting you this time
You have eyes to see but your still blind
I had some thoughts on how we could make improvements
And you went off
In an effort to protect us you got lost
But no need to stew in the animosity within you
Because the fear your succumbing to dwells in me too
The lies that you accept
Derails our dreams
Are you too pessimistic to hope for greater things?
Have you matured beyond the happiness that unpacking brings?
Come on BROKEN hEART work with me.
Lady let go of that luggage your carrying.
Holding on to scorched dreams will make your world barren.
