Held Hostage By My Stuff

Oh, yes, I was held hostage by my stuff for a month about.
It was suffocating me, squeezing all the energy out.
To look at it depleted me, made me a loser, a lout.
I began to sort and throw willy nilly, here and there and about.
I am not complete yet, but I feel better without a doubt.

Caren.. if you haven't used it in the season it's meant for.. let it go. It's not just keeping a pile of outdated garbage. It trains the brain to hold on to useless things, to garbage. Get the brain thinking I only hold what makes me better.
