Cleaning House

Cleaning house today, Packing away old troubles to be shipped Into the garbage where they belong I can't continue this pattern; my hands are too weary to keep weaving, sowing together These threads of apprehensive dwellings, My mind is fed up on forgiving cruel intentions Not deserving of forgiveness But I will forgive to put my conscience at ease To better my soul in the countless nights I can recall of worrying I am tired... a change needs to transpire At times I feel the urge to surrender to the tribulations Yet I am still eager to keep on keeping on Moving up a little bit higher, one day's journey at a time This time granted, I am willingly... Cleaning house today, The baggage stored upon shelves, corners, closets gathered in years of mental space I am leaving out on the curb, free for anyone to claim custody, full ownership to I am recovering now... from the midst of a complex situation Contemplating one complication after the next An easy cleanup at best, as is... As it will take some time, time I can't afford to spend hastily An easy cleanup, on the contrary I would disagree Yet I am ready for whatever plan god has in store for me I am determined to clean house, I am preparing for brighter days The true pursuit of happiness The divine mission to peace of mind
