Rid Me Of This Burden

Rid me of this burden
It's been dragging me down
For three years now

I don't know why
I ever agreed to carry it
But I no longer want it

I've tried to shove it
I've sent it away
But it finds its way back to me

Just when I think
I've let go of it
It presents itself once again

It's like an anchor
Pulling me down
Into a murky abyss

Will I ever escape?

If the tags weren't there I would be at a loss to know what your burden was. It may be helpful to mention or allude to what it is somehow in your lines through symbolism or objects. The anchor metaphor is good yet kind of spent. With all that said, I commend you for writing out your feelings. That's what this place is for.

there are always baggage we don't want to carry but goes with us wherever we go and sometimes it needs lots of courage to put the baggage down for once in our lives and continue to live a new life or start a new beginning

Salt and pepper...that's the condiments out of the way. As for constructive criticism ain't really my forte.
Regarding the burden, strength of character to ignore that which you do not cause or cannot control is the way forward.
