Excess Baggage

I've been lugging around this 
heavy baggage around,
this thing that they called
heart.
Where all the
miseries and sorrows
I came across to
sheltered themselves in
and made themselves at home.
I felt like a fraud
pretending that all
the hurts were for naught,
but indeed they mattered deep
as they sliced their way in.
Everyday for me then
was just survival not living,
until someone taught me
to just let the light in.
The stones are still there,
all rattling and shaking,
while this thing
that they called heart
kept on beating.
But living on the spaces
in between is the light
that I've finally learned
to welcome in.

*** Just another day of those weird, meant to be moments. That moment when you were not intending to go to the mall but ended up going there anyway. And you were not planning on buying anything but when you got there, you were surprised to find out that the book you were waiting for was already there on the shelves waiting for you to pick it up. And after impulsively purchasing it, once you got home, you learned that the said book was just released today. Today. Coincidence? Maybe not. Just pure awesomeness. Cheer to the New Moon! ;) :)
