Thoughts and memories
Baggage carried for way too long
How to shed pain and confusion
When so much time has gone
Down the hourglass
With no words, no airing
Of the hurt, of the guilt, of the
Need to release the demons
From my soul
New man, unwilling to carry
The trunks and bags and cartloads
Of issues unaddressed
Blurting them out onto paper
Reading them aloud
Sharing them honestly
Not for hurt but to unburden
A soul in chains
(Raymond A. Foss)
