The O.C.D.emon

By ColorMeToxic

My mind is stuck on repeat.

With painful,

horrible visions of doom.

Could-be's and What-if's

Flash behind my eyes.

Filled with horror and fear,

my mind keeps going...

constantly thinking.

I ask myself,

'what exactly do you hope to accomplish

by worrying,

by always thinking the worst?'.

It changes nothing to question myself because,

the O.C.D.emon is unaffected

by logic and reason.

Fear takes over.

Again, I give in.

Rituals repeated...

Counting and cleaning,

Praying and thinking...

Begging for bad things,

not to happen.

Afraid to give in...

always thinking...

WHAT IF this or WHAT IF that...
