Bag Clean Out

This bag I'm going to set down 
It's gotten to heavy to carry around 
Have to rest my shoulder for awhile 
Before I walk another mile 
Think I'll clean out what I don't need 
Make this bag lighter so forward I can proceed 
I'm going to clear out this resentment and hurt 
To lessons learned and healing I'll convert 
Pitching all this unnecessary fear and doubt 
Courage and confidence will be what I tout
Tossing this frown and tears on my face
With laughter and smiles I'll replace 
Guilt and regret I'm setting aside 
Unashamed and contentment I'll put inside 
Replacing all these nonessentials with what's necessary 
Going to make this bag easier for me to carry
