The Curse

Poem about OCD

By Natalie C..Published 4 years ago 1 min read

I have a curse

When you think I’m about to improve

It is only about to get worse

Nothin’ can break me out of the groove

With temptations mocking

Have to be headstrong

Even if I’m sleepwalking

Unfortunately, it’s lifelong

I have too many thoughts

They start to bottleneck

All of them getting tangled in knots

Causing my emotions to be a wreck

Every thought is impulsive

Some might even say it is compulsive

Not realizing its obsessive

Feeling like it is just expressive

Every morning I close my eyes

Letting my thoughts sink

Maybe it’ll make me more wise

Blink, blink, blink

Constantly repeating actions

Even with my footsteps

There are no extractions

Step, step, step

Reaching for a door

My hand feeling like a rock

Even though it only bore

Knock, knock, knock

Passing the wall

It doesn’t take much

Even at a snails crawl

Touch, touch, touch

Simple things have their place

Giving each of them respect

No one disturbing its space

Perfect, perfect, perfect

My thoughts on repetition

With no end in sight

Hoping to go into remission

Maybe one night.
