I am a closeted hoarder
I collect everything
And find it hard to let go.

Each item in my possession holds
sentiments and memories.
I am a closeted hoarder
I collect everything and
I am unable to let go.

I am trying my best
to cleanse myself of this God awful habit
Like a cancer it spreads– invading my self esteem, y being…
and I can’t seem to shake it off.

I reaffirm and remind myself
‘’You don’t need this, you think you do, but, you don’t.”

I am a closeted hoarder
I collect everything
And find it hard to let go.

I am ashamed of myself
And I hate myself for it.
I know I need help – however, I am not ready to ask for help from the outside world.
I’m not there yet…
I’m trying to be strong
I’m trying to help myself
but it doesn’t seem to be working
only worsening -sickening habit.
“I will get better.” I lie to myself.

I am a closeted hoarder
I collect everything
And find it hard to let go.

I see myself letting go
and forgetting everything.
My memories deny me access
to reminisce
-this is my worst fear.
And why I hold on
and struggle to let go.

I am a closeted hoarder
I collect everything
And find it hard to let go.
