Again and Again- a Poem About Ocd
Troubles
how do I explain
these thoughts intruding in my life
in my mind
through each day
every moment
every step
gotta do this
gotta do that
again and again
troubles
how do I find control
this constant toll
forced upon me
if I'm good or bad
this constant toll
gotta keep going
over and over
again and again
til finally I fall
fall into the trap
no
not a trap
a lifestyle
I cannot escape
it's consuming me
breaking me
pulling my arms in different directions
do I fight these urges?
to build anxiety
or do I follow through
just to land back at the start
gotta do this
gotta do that
again and again
it never stops
it never slows
I'm falling
with an urge to climb
the higher I climb
the less air I breath
the lower I fall
the more anxieties
gotta do this
gotta do that
again and again
troubles
how do I bare this burden
hidden in my mind
a monster, from behind
turn around
face to face
now it's at a faster pace
A river
swimming against the tide
arms fatigue
no longer I try
I'm drifting along
down with the waves
turning and falling again and again
Troubles
how do I explain
these thoughts intruding in my life
in my mind
through each day
every moment
every step
gotta do this
gotta do that
again and again.
