Sometimes I feel like a suitcase

Bumbled and fumbled and sticker marked

With all the places I have been.

The leather is worn and a soft green.

I need my zipper replaced.

Perhaps the lining is a bit ragged

But I am filled with memories,

With experiences for good or bad

Who have changed me into who I am.

Perhaps then,

We shouldn’t always try to get rid of baggage

Sometimes

It can teach us something.
