Obsessively, Compulsively Obsessive Compulsive: Rumination
Obsessive compulsive
Upsetting and repulsive
The thoughts storm my ramparts
and jam up my drawbridge
For weeks and weeks
I have dreaded convulsion
Weak to my own mind
By which I'm assaulted
The pressure in my veins
Is off the charts
The way I operate
I'll bring on my own harm
If I don't slow down
If I don't regroup
If I don't find solid ground
Sometime soon
But I'm reconnecting
Reaching out
Getting help and finding hope
in the love that surrounds
Upsetting and repulsive
The thoughts storm my ramparts
and jam up my drawbridge
For weeks and weeks
I have dreaded convulsion
Weak to my own mind
By which I'm assaulted
The pressure in my veins
Is off the charts
The way I operate
I'll bring on my own harm
If I don't slow down
If I don't regroup
If I don't find solid ground
Sometime soon
But I'm reconnecting
Reaching out
Getting help and finding hope
in the love that surrounds

Author's Note
I was told today that my OCD may have returned. It's never been this bad. I'm tired and weak and sick from it, but writing is helping.
