Emotional Baggage

It’s a lot of load.

When I try to unpack,

It’s overwhelming 

So I let my thoughts slack. 


I have to be true to myself.

I don’t know as much as I do know.

When you’re moving in circles 

There’s really no end.


I speak in parables 

And write with riddles 

To soften my emotional debacle


I’ve made excuses for a living 

For myself & the people I loved.

I chose to be blind 

When the signs were glaring.


In my quest for understanding,

I ignored all the warning signs 

Just as now I’m here writing rhymes 

My priorities were slowly misaligning. 


How did I go from feeling nothing 

To letting my emotions get the best of me?

A surge of feelings I choose to not process 

A lot of – but I told you so and mild regrets.


It’s a lot of questions I can’t answer.

Disappointments I cannot explain.

Choices I cannot defend.

Feelings I couldn’t comprehend. 


Still not figured it out, but I’m learning.

I’m learning what I thought I already did.

It’s okay to not understand.

It’s okay to be misaligned.


Face your fears 

Don’t hold back the tears 

It’s okay to be disappointed 

It’s okay to be real.


This baggage weighs a lot.

When certainty was what I sought 

Clarity was presented to me

Until I could open my eyes and see.


In my confusion 

And wild decisions 

I find rest knowing He understands 

He’s able to turn my folly for His glory.
