Sending it Away, by Pamela Schloesser Canepa (c) 2020.
Put your stuff on the boat,
and send it off gently,
the baggage that only
held you back.
See them go,
you don’t need them,
and they won’t counter-attack.
Pain, shame, anger, fear,
low self-regard, loathing, and resentment
can’t fit your search
for an enlightened life.
What you held onto
has distracted and limited you.
For, baggage does its duty.
Now just send it away,
with a genuine, Goodbye.
The monster you created
out of negativity
is no longer your friend.
Put it on the boat,
with a tear-free Goodbye.
