Description: If anyone feels like their talents are both a gift and a curse due to the expectations that come with them, then this is the poem for you.
The bag that I carry is the only bag that I need
But if bag becomes burden, then dilemma indeed
Let me explain what I mean
It would seem I have been given everything I need to succeed
But its to bad that things are not that simple
The world keeps moving while I stand in limbo
Talking about potential!
Its holding me back, holding me down, I’m just trying to hold it intact
So these questions I ask
Should I cut ties-close eyes never look back?
Can I afford to cut chords with this bag that I tote?
Can I enter the winter missing my coat?
Better yet can I forfeit the ultimate blessing?
Can I go far in a war without any weapons?
You see why I am stressing?
I cant carry this load and I cant let it go.
So I pray oh LORD would you please let me know
What should I do?
That’s when You sang these words that rang so true.
You said my son- you’re so dumb and so confused
Let Me explain- real plain why you have these tools
If the gifts I’ve given you are becoming a burden
Than use them to help someone who is hurting
Your talents were never meant to carry around,
Just come to My alter and lay them down.
These words resound
So I am emptying my bag even now.
