'Baggage'

I carry some baggage, too wretched and heavy,

Pins me to the ground, makes me walk so slow.

It seems like a curse, a never ending bane;

I need to live with it, yet not allow the misery to grow.

I know I am depleted; I have carried it for so long,

But there's something stubborn in me, that won’t let it go.

Even if I froze, somewhere along the path,

I hope to turn into a milestone, for others to follow.

I drag my feet and carry them, for some more distance,

Look ahead in eternity, where the stars of my hope glow.

A new baggage awaits me, at the destination,

I'll take the new baggage. This old one, I'll throw!

The destination is far and seems quite distant,

But on reaching there, I hope to make an impact, a blow!

There's something which encourages me to move forward,

I'll make it to the destination, and let the whole world know!
