Baggage
© N Noël June 2010
Pile upon pile Soul dragged behind
It’s all the things people keep locked up inside
Heavy laden a lifetime of pain
All the incidentals pent-up shame
Past hurts, worries and mistakes that we’ve made
Carried around, dragged about
Built up into bundles too heavy to sustain
Pile upon pile, mountains high
Can’t see over those emotional crimes
Waiting to explode if given a chance
Unresolved issues from a long lost past
Bag on bag full can’t contain
Emotional baggage needing someone to blame
First come, first serve is the plan
Throw it on them be rid of the weight
First come, first serve gets past loss and hate
Pile upon pile, brick upon brick
Life’s baggage, past troubles keeps making you
SICK
Heavy, Heavy, laden down
Won’t release, it’s your claim to fame
Miserable, unresolved issues, keep trying to contain
Covering up what hurts never dulls the pain
Baggage, baggage, release and let go
Obsessing on the past like a dormant Volcano
Waiting to irrupt if given the chance
Who’s ever in the way gets the full blast
Mountains, piles, a deep abyss
An emotional, stagnant, festering cyst
Chains the Spirit and hardens the heart
Releasing the pain is the best place to start
Baggage, baggage, pile upon pile
Look in the mirror learn how to smile
Life is what we make it everyday
Take that Emotional Baggage
PLEASE …throw it away
