Once They Told Me
Once they told me long ago
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...
That I would only be alone
So, I pushed them all away
So that no one would ever know
Once they told me long ago
That I was wrong, and it would show
So, I kept the fear all to myself
Let it tear me to the bone
Once they told me long ago
That I was healthy from head to toe
So, I let disorder eat me away
They know me better, I suppose
Once they told me long ago
That I had everything, high to low
So my sadness had no name
And I choose to suffer so
Once they told me...

Scrupulosity
There’s a winged preacher on my shoulder,
But I can’t tell if it’s an angel or obsession.
It seems the harder I try to listen,
The more I start to question.
The harder I try to fight,
The further that I fall.
If I’m not trying to be perfect,
Am I trying at all?
And am I trying too hard,
Or not trying enough?
Is it an intrusive thought,
Or is it calling out a bluff?
I know I’m supposed to be happy,
But I only feel safe in the hurt.
If I’m...

A Penlight
Cancel out the darkness
learning to read
what might be remembered
with a penlight
silencing the echoes
with a magic marker
until you get your sight back
from exploring the unknown
walking alone
with a penlight
listening to your awareness

OCD
When OCD is in my head
It fills me up
With so much dread
And thoughts of disastrous
Events appearing real
The "what if's" come
It's fear that I feel
What's best for now
Is some needed distraction
To help me focus
On something of value
A slow deep breath
Makes for a productive start
The door was shut
But now it's open
To help me move in
A different direction
A glance up at the sky
A bird flying high
Can help me to get
Alright in my mind
It fills me up
With so much dread
And thoughts of disastrous
Events appearing real
The "what if's" come
It's fear that I feel
What's best for now
Is some needed distraction
To help me focus
On something of value
A slow deep breath
Makes for a productive start
The door was shut
But now it's open
To help me move in
A different direction
A glance up at the sky
A bird flying high
Can help me to get
Alright in my mind

Redemption Part 2
Ok
Let's try again
Redemption feels ok
It's day to day
Trying to see things from your perspective
You know obsession
How it rules me
You too of of course
Different, not equal but similar
Part of me is pure
Other part is pig caveman
Sometimes you like that part
Then other days you lay me out
Love gets in the way often
Thought this was going to something else
An obtuse sex poem I'm known for
Feeling edgy
It will pass
What happened before won't happen again
Guide me
Make fun of me
Love...

O.C.D I Think...
Recently,
recent behaviors
lead me to
believe,
I
may
have
OCD.
Racing thoughts,
fill my head,
I need it...
bad...
I
think
it's
OCD.
Manifesting
it's own,
unique
kind of
energy.
I
think
it's
OCD.
Undiagnosed,
need to
get
checked out...
It
might
be
OCD.
Oh,
I caught
myself
obsessing again...

Ol dirty wolfstard
Living on the edge of time
Poking holes for the light to shine forks and knives but spoons are all you care
People run in circles you reach out no one's there
Starstruck fell in love with one stare
Fallen left alone she's always there
True love blinding everything's just
Eyes full of tears and stomach full of lust
Time is messed up all hours are the same
Relentless effort for a prize to claim
Days months years blend in fall like rain
Crawling through a dream denying the pain
Restless cranked doped...

Time is messed up all hours are the same
Relentless effort for a prize to claim
Days months years blend in fall like rain
Crawling through a dream denying the pain
Restless cranked doped...

hangman's scaffold
neurodivergent people can
be tall, thin, brilliant, O
and work a pair C
of fuck-me D
heels
so
very
well
that normative thinkers
forget that we can't actually
deal with breaks in the patterns.
I’m in the audience cheering this time.
