Array ( [sid] => 107109 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The OCD in Me [time] => 2005-10-05 00:48:34 [hometext] => the beginning letter of each stanza is O C and D standing for my mental disorder. and the ending words spells my name with the spelling my parents gave me. [bodytext] => Oh, what a creature of habit!
She feels so secure within her insecurities,
for it is there in which her mind makes a habit of staying.

Can she find her way out?
Will she be able to free herself from the
captivity of her own mind?
Will she be able to put aside
the continuous ravings which within
her reside?

Darkness is fading. . .
The light is so near, but she feels she
is falling, right when
it all seems so clear!
Up and down; falling then getting up (a minor triumph);
Lost in a vast ocean of failures, barely afloat on a defeated raft.

Continuous
Obsessions
Un-controlling
Real
Torturous
Never
Ending
. . .
