My Life Comes With Its Own Luggage Set – Written Monday 7th June 2021 (Aged 46)

My Life Comes With Its Own Luggage Set

my life,
comes with its own luggage set –
filled with shame and guilt –
and bits of regret
i have to accept the paths –
that i took –
they have left me with so much –
to think about
and, when i look at you –
i do not know what to do
i know,
it is not my job to fix
there is no high end education
that means i am qualified
to reassemble all the bits
but i do not know what to do
and i have to say,
i am struggling –
to push thoughts of my experience –
from when i was a child
i am struggling to get those thoughts –
out of my head
