Unload The Excess Baggage

I am not the one, To walk around validating... Every pinch felt from an illness. Or am I the one to carry pain, As if I've been awarded... A medal for valor and honor. Each day as I pray... And after I awaken, I feel tremendously blessed... That God has pulled my sisters and I, Through much heartbreak and stress. We, in those days, believed we needed to address. And when I hear some folks, Making excuses for mistakes they've made... I can go through any day, Without seeking to be medicated. To fake my feelings to numb the aches. I want to keep it real. That's how I feel. I am not the one, To walk around validating... Every pinch felt from an illness. Nor am I the one, Seeking to skate through a life... Speeded by an easy breeze. God has blessed me! And I know this. And there is nothing better I can do... Than to hold my head up, And unload the excess baggage. To live the best life feeling grateful. And blessed to be able to confess it!
