The Suitcase

 
I was walking along the road on a cold winter day. The wind was pushing against me as if  to stop me from going any further.. I pulled my coat tight around my neck with my right hand. My left hand was gripping a suitcase that was becoming increasing heavy. I started dragging the case, pulling it with all my strength until I felt broken, like I couldn't go on.. My cold, aching hands released the the heavy burden. Not looking back I turned toward the horizon and began walking.  Left on the side of the road, in the bitter cold,  was the suitcase that carried everything I  desperately held on to.  It was full of hurt, sorrow, anger,  regret, fear, resentment and doubt.  I had to set the suitcase down and walk away. The load had  truly became too much to carry.
