OCD

OCD the three little letters that for me, spell a four letter word:  HELL
OCD is like sleeping, but your eyes are open
It envelops your heart, and leaves you no room to breathe
It takes all that you have, and uses it against you

OCD takes a strong, agile mind, and uses it to terrorize the being inside
It causes hurt, pain, doubt and sadness
Every day, I wake I am determined to fight this battle
only in this battle, I am competing against myself

My mind never sleeps, my brain never lets me think of anything else
there are only split seconds in my consciousness where I am truly free
I feel like some days that maybe I am going insane
Maybe there is a break in my sadness, or a break in this hellhole known as reality

My worst enemy is me
I am the only person who knows what buttons to push to send me over the edge
The only problem is...that because I know, so does the OCD
it has so much control over me, and I don't even know when it came into my life

It has pretty much ruined my life concerning love
I have hurt loved ones, or pushed away other people, because of doubts expressed by OCD
When it comes time that I am finally happy, OCD causes me to misinterpret actions
leading me to drive myself insane

I am always trying to read signs, trying to pray, trying to count, and trying to clean
How did this start?
How will this end
Each day, I say a prayer to god, Make this go away
