Hoarder Poem by Kyle Schlicher

a long time ago
in a lifetime
in
another part
of
this universe
i learned
how
to
hoard
emotion;
how to push it down
deep,
keeping it
where i store
everything
else.

pushing on it
harder
as
it
tries to rise
to see the light of day.

just pushing on it,
pushing
on
it
pushing
ti
down
deep,
deep,
deeper
and then
pushing on it
some
more.
