Baggage

Like ghosts in my pockets, weighing me down, burdens echoing with quiet sorrow, coiling tight around the soul in silent pain. Some weights like umbrellas cast aside after storms, others iron shackles, rusted, locked in permanence— all carried unseen, but deeply felt. Knots in the spine, scars engraved on the mind, tangled threads, riotous roots of clinging shadows— held tight, wrapped in sorrow and guilt. The weight of unspoken words, unfinished tasks, unkept promises, and unmanageable memories— all soaked deep in regret. Letting go is not an option when remorse is all you have, and anguish your only friend.
