“Unwanted Baggage”

Dame Barbara on Feb 11, 2010

Things happen in everyone’s life causing unwanted baggage and the baggage has to be gone through and thrown out to be worthy of someone else.

My strength has been drained.

My soul has been stained.

How do I recover

from being a scorned lover?

My wits have dulled.

My expressions sulled.

The misfortunes I have

experienced of late

have been too much

for my plate.

It is hard to believe,

but it’s true.

The way I am now

is no good for you.

I am too broken

to be of any benefit,

but I am working on it

bit by bit.

You deserve so much more

than I can give you at present.

In my life there are a lot

of changes left in store.

Things can get distorted so fast

and seem to last and last.

The climb back to the surface

can be very arduous and vast.

Once I succeed,

I will make you happy indeed.

After the unwanted baggage

has all been sifted through,

I will be a better person

and worthy of you.

DB…what a tremendous pledge of faith and love to the one so deserving of your attention and affection. This is a great write and rather than put sideboards on your plate to heap more stuff on it, it is extremely wise to toss some of the unwanted baggage that you have been lugging around for far too long. Emotional and personal baggage can weigh you down and take you own, professionally written advice and rid yourself of all that excessive baggage in order to be that better person that is waiting to be freed from deep within you. I appreciate the truth in this outstanding poem. Thank you. And I’m honoured to be the first person to comment here.

I know a few people that feel unworthy. I have felt that myself. And then love came. Wonderful write

Also be sure to ask whether they were or are worthy of you?

Hi there!
