Compulsive Hoarding

Compulsive Hoarding By Sir Troy Anthony Platt

Reference:4826072019

“Compulsive hoarding”,

My little problem,

Over the years I have collected,

Empty soft drink bottles, pizza boxes,

An odd fruit like banana skins and apples core.

“also known as hoarding disorder,”

I have low self-image,

Caused by depression.

I collected lots of books.

“is a behavioral pattern characterized by excessive acquisition of and”

My daily activities writing songs,

I sit on my chair,

Surrounded by piles of books.

“an inability”

I have lost confidence,

I need someone with me,

To help me along this path.

“or unwillingness to discard large quantities of objects”

I will use the books in my musicals,

So many ideas I have,

I’m emotional attached.

“that cover the living areas of the home”

my apartment has no more space,

Bedroom full of marvel books.

Even on my bed, I have books.

“and cause significant distress”

I feel so lost without them,

Deep down I have this idea,

Sell the books in my shop.

Who would buy my books?

“or impairment.”

I have distress,

The pile is my journey.

Now I must discard my treasures.
