Put your baggage…behind you

Put your past down on paper.
Fold it up with all your loss.
Put your regrets in the envelope.
Seal with your disapproval. Emboss.

Put your held-back tear under a forever stamp.
Slide your guilt under your thumb and firmly press.
Put your worry into a pen. Write down to whom.
Adhere your label with no return address.

Put your struggle in the pages of a book.
Close the ends upon your roughest chapter within.
Put your mistakes in a bag. Add the above.
Tie it with your faults. Knot the fears you keep hidden.

Put your baggage into the closet.
Stow away with your sadness and your sorrow.
Close the door on your disappointment.
Rest your head, your heart, leave the rest tomorrow.

Wake anew and walk out.
Never stopping to look back.
You found a newfound outlook.
A new plan of attack.

All that is behind you is behind you.
All that is behind
is done.

All there is to remind you is to remind you:
All that is behind
is gone.

Out there there is time to find you.
Out there there is time,
move on.

You can live the life you put your mind to.
You can live the life…
you’ve begun.
