Overwhelming Chore of Cleaning One's Room

She just can't come to terms with the steps,
To her chest of drawers,
To her laundry basket,
To her desk and bookshelf.

Her bed is a repository for her life's detritus,
A dirty sock,
Numerous books,
Pencils, pens, a teddy or two.
And more than one pair of slept-in pyjamas.

She lies amidst the myriad of knick-knacks,
Torn and scrunched paper and discarded clothing.
The mental challenge of coming up with a plan,
Deciding just where to begin,
To tidy this mess,
Of her own making,
Is TOO much.
