The Reality of OCD

By Noor Darwish

He takes over the feelings of woman and man,

as it is all apart of His plan,

no. not a plan, but instead a campaign,

one that forces people to be in everlasting pain,

He is residing in my mind,

taking joy while eliminating my pride,

calculation is the biggest part of life,

it cuts me up, a knife.

one, two, three,

one, two, three,

one, two, three,

perfect.

His presence never absent,

His presence never gone,

He will never depart,

for this is it, the sadness of OCD

for this is Him, the reality of OCD.
