A hoarders Home

 Pile on , pile on I heap and move and pile

more and more I gather saving and crying all the while

no room to tidy no room to store, yet still I gather more

like squrrel gathering for a winter that will never come

I keep storing. 

come clean come rearaange

come move one pile to there and one to hear 

bringing it back once more

my mountain rises higher year by year.

I sit on top a cluttered throne

looking down blaming

this mess on anyone but my own. 

Thrwoing away my stuff you say

I say no way and I cry forever more

Clinging to ever drop of jumble

In this chaos I make my home

Trying my best to clear away

never thorwing away anything

just saving, pretending

I am okay.
