some baggage travels the whole journey...


Observational Diary

trapped in that body sealed for personal use

sapped of all individuality
removed from reality
hiding from the truth
a bargain on a shelf
stripped bare of all self
removed and damaged
goods
trash upon the heap
no longer much left to keep
just a lonely soul inside
grains of sand shift and cry
dripping dirt puddles for tears
all those unhappy years
still remain leaking, creeping
tormenting spirit of what's in it
just dust in the wind, feathers
from a dove, a world without love
crashing into desolation
a removing of isolation
rising beyond expectation
into a new destination
free of all insanity's pollution

searching for a satisfactory solution

for herself

yes some baggage does travel with us the whole journey, but you know, it is your baggage, you own it, you may do with it as you please...even get rid of it. Some people put it in storage and only look at it every now and then. Some people keep it out and use it, they make it work for them. They don't pack it too heavy and they make the miles mean something. I like to make my baggage work for me...I have written about it for years and I have been able to help other people because their baggage is the same. I love you.

Like a phoenix from the ashes, like pulling victory from from the jaws of defeat. This is an awesome accomplishment! This is a grunt-to-stand-up, but cheer-when-you- make-it piece. A true triumph.
