I love living with my OCD, But a disorder it is not. I work in the local library you see, Where books have their own spot. I threw out the Dewey system, And bought books with colourful spines. And now every book is arranged in groups, Under their colourful signs. There’s red books and blue books, and The groups of black, white and green. So now the library is all organised, Into a rainbowed sort of a theme. Some folks seem to think I’m jumbled, Creating a muddled type of mess. But I disagree one hundred percent with them, I am an ordered success. Hi, this was written 11th Oct 2016 for contest 224 of and judged on 17th Oct hope you enjoyed this one :)

I love this :) I am an Asperger, no OCD, but the effect is about the same, and I invite people to just accept that there is more to the world than the so-called 'normalcy'. Favourite.

Darren, I agree 100%, I'm neither, but feel society has unfair ideals, and misguided ideals. Capitalist ideals.
