Its time, yes, its time!

To leave things behind.

The big and the small things,

the mean and unkind!

Time to forget the trifles,

the spitefuls, and vengeful in mind.

Time to forget the bitters,

the hurtfuls, the malificent that bind.

Time to shed anchors,

and millstones, the ball and chain’id.

Shed the guilting, the boring,

and the unsupporting.

Toss the clinging, and weeping

and prostrating.

Chuck the begging, imploring,

and gesticulating.

So leave the warping, manipulating, crushing, devaluing, guilting, and shaming.  Leave it all behind!

It’s time, it’s time, to straighten your spine.
