Vacation time
I wish I could go on vacation solo
But my heavy luggage is always there
And just won't let go
All this internal baggage
Which, like it or not
You must find a way to manage
No matter how far away
I wish to escape
No matter how happy to be
I can fake
The past sticks like glue
A big flipping I.O.U.
Still, I will go to Italy
And, for a few days
Try to go for a bit of diversity.

Letting go is often the hardest and our own personal 'heaviest lifting' ...

Liked the word play between luggage and baggage (it cracks me whenever I do baggage fees for expense reports at work).
Italy always sounds nice.
Well done.

Glad you like. These reports at work having to do with expenses must be hell sometimes. Regards, Robert.
