Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

by Jennifer RIP Lesthat Hayden   Sep 12, 2007


1 2 3 4 5
Counting the steps I take
6 7 8 9 10
Sick thoughts my mind will make
11 12 13 14 15
These images I do not want
16 17 18 19 20
And yet they still persist to taunt
21 22 23 24 25
I'll repeat until it feels right
26 27 28 29 30
These impulses are hard to fight
31 32 33 34 35
At times I'm bothered by change
36 37 38 39 40
At times I must rearrange
41 42 43 44 45
The little things really get me
46 47 48 49 50
At times they're things other's can't see
51 52 53 54 55
Germ killer can be like a need
56 57 58 59 60
My hungry thoughts it can feed
61 62 63 64 65
It all started when I was a girl
66 67 68 69 70
In my mind many orders would whirl
71 72 73 74 75
Paranoia will enter my mind
76 77 78 79 80
And when in there you are sure to find
81 82 83 84 85
A collection of useless stuff
86 87 88 89 90
It's still growing though it's enough
91 92 93 94 95
But I finally found out what was wrong with me
96 97 98 99 100
I discovered what I had was called OCD

    Interesting, but again, it didn't do much for me. I didn't <feel> your emotion on how you felt about this.

    However, I really liked the form; the numbers were a cute and unquie thing. Nicely done there.

    I want to give you a 3.5, but that's not possible, so I'll round up. ^^

    The counting quite makes this piece,
    reflecting sharp truth of what OCD is like.
    Nice topic choice, and nice execution.

    Keep it up!

    Take Care,

    Alright, I take back what I said before about, "If I could be." Nah, jk. But this is EVEN more original than the other one. I don't have OCD but I have heard about it and i feel you have descibe this topic quite well. Keep up the good work. =)
