BAGGAGE
Why is this bag so heavy?
What am I carrying?
Underwear and old girlfriends.
Shoes.
My past and old fears.
Wires to charge things
I no longer own.
Shirts I don’t wear and
Books I don’t read.
Things I don’t need!
I took off the backpack
And spread my wings
And flew!
I never saw the straps
Until you cut them.
