Quick-write: Unwanted Boomerangs

The thing about a weighty past
is that it leaves you with a bunch
of unwanted boomerangs.
A boomerang of victim-hood mentality
A boomerang of fears and tears.
A boomerang of doubts.
A boomerang of anxiety and self-pity .
A boomerang of low self-esteem.
When they return there's anger and indignation.
For you were certain you broke the boomerangs
before throwing them the last time,
and yet here they are again.
