“Hoarder” [Poetry]

by share

I am cluttered like a hoarder’s dining room table, filled to the brim with remnants of the past. Memories, both bitter and sweet, cling to every surface, refusing to be forgotten. The fragments left behind by the people and experiences I have loved linger, forever etched into the very fabric of my being.

Like a neglected book on a dusty shelf, I am surrounded by countless others, all gathering layers of neglect. From the outside, my pages may appear empty, devoid of any significant meaning. But within these worn, weathered covers, lie stories waiting to be discovered. Each page holds a tale, eager to be heard, ready to be shared.

I am like crumpled, dingy sheets, worn out from carrying the weight of the past upon my soul. The burdens I bear, the scars I carry, all leave their mark. Yet, amidst the weariness, I find solace in the presence of other books. Together, we stand, a united front, each with its unique journey to unfold. We may be tattered and torn, but our stories intertwine, creating a tapestry of resilience and strength.

What would I be without these books by my side? They define me, shape me, and bring me alive. They are the chapters of my life, the paragraphs that make up my existence. Within their pages, I find comfort, inspiration, and a reflection of who I am. They are the threads that weave together the tapestry of my being, forming a museum of cherished memories.

I embrace the clutter that surrounds me, for it is the clutter that makes me thrive. It is through the chaos and disorder that I find beauty and meaning. Each memory, each fragment, adds depth and richness to my story. I am a symphony of experiences, a collage of emotions, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
