Baggage

By Courtney Metcalf

Emotional baggage is a real term.
They don’t just leave with a piece of you. You also leave with a piece of them.
Them pieces add up. Them pieces weigh you down.

Don’t fall til you’re sure…

It gets heavy.
I’ve only got 3 pieces and they weigh the world already..
and at one point they really were to me..
Now I have nightmares and such weird dreams
It’s actually titled as bottled up insanity..
and they try to hand it as a pill to me.
It’s not yet real to me.
