Baggage
If the historic prayer
consumes her voice
It cries for "violence please!"
Please, like it's her choice
Emotional fluids
should cleanse the Soul
Bound in leather and steel
zipped tight and whole
She told me that she carries a lot of baggage.
And although she cries, she never unpacks
Salt water memories
lessen the burn
Each garment represents
a lesson learned
knee pressed to bursting seems
heavy she knew
it's for her own safety
and for yours too
She told me that she carries a lot of baggage.
And although she cries, she never unpacks
unzip and you will see
oh
another part of me
that no one should know
oh
unless they hurt me so
She has a lot of baggage
she cries but never unpacks
