Pieces of Me

I keep everything I own Can’t seem to throw it away

It all has some sentimental value Every item is part of my past

Therefore, I can’t let it go I have already lost so much

This causes me problems though I know it’s a mess but it’s my mess

Still, I can’t have any company over I fear what they might think of it all

Sometimes the clutter makes me anxious But how could I throw these memories away?

When they are pieces of me
