Hoarding: Buried Inside

I. Feel. You.

Push it down

Deep inside

There's space somewhere

 

Who is this?

There's no room for you

We need more room

 

Dodge forgotten feelings

They'll only get in the way

Pile on what's necessary

Clear a space

Shelve it away

 

It's close to full

Pretty soon I'll have to see

Face raw, imprisoned stares

That's pleaded for much needed

Relief

This is a great job of comparing physical hoarding & the kind that happens deep inside. I never would've thought of such a comparison & I love originality like this. Your phrases are well-crafted to carry the metaphor with vivid imagery & strong feeling (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Laurierose]

Thanks, Margie! When we reach deep down in ourselves, we'll be surprised to see someone so familiar, yet unfamiliar at the same time. Thanks for the sincere review.

I often have described similar feelings to my wife about my thoughts of her... I tell her this can't be healthy. lol Your usage of metaphor is spot on to how I feel, but can't relay accurately to her.

[Laurierose]

I'm glad this resonated with you. I appreciate the touching review.

[‘Thoughts In Time..]

Not good to keep everything being buried inside - gets to a point of utter suffocation and a point of no return- when we can release and set ourselves free from the bondage of the things inside is when our heart is no longer controlled by the mind- well written and very true🌹

[Laurierose]

It is amazing how much we pile things on and search for any crevice that'll allow us to cram. I appreciate the thought provoking review.

My pleasure🌹

dear Laurierose... a life full of love can overflow... like river banks when storm clouds roll. Each day the stream recedes and serenity
reflects the sunshine on the still waters of life. truly, Pat

[Laurierose]

There's something interesting about the overflow. One could view this from a couple of angles. To be filled with such pleasant feelings and experiencing those in excess could leave a trail of warmth or an overdraft and make a mess. Thanks for such a thoughtful review.

[Patricia Wedel]

You are welcome... dear poet

An intriguing mix of hoarders of possessions n homes to hoarders of deep emotions way down inside us all.

[Laurierose]

Yes, I drew a bunch of inspiration from actual hoarding for this piece. Thank you for the kind review!

[Onlyme]

My pleasure, thank you for the poem sharing with us all.

[Crowley]

Its a great metaphor and I think that in both instances, the physical and the mind, it is a monumental sadness when this happens. You always have a great way of showing us the issue without shoving it down our throats. You are delicate and clever. Great job!!!

[Laurierose]

When I'm crafting, I like to play on words or phrases and tie it into something related to real issues that everyone can relate to. I appreciate this, Crowley!!

It is a thought-full experience finding your presence here. This is the fifth view and you've said much in a very open way and touched upon a myriad of understandings... nice meeting you.

[Laurierose]

I truly appreciate and respect this thoughtful review and kind words. It's great meeting such intellectual individuals such as yourself. Nice meeting you, as well.

I jam my attic with memories that often cause me to not step forward...
pain can be hoarded and we leave no room to love...someone has to come along and help clear out those negative feelings...those uncertainties.
