Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Everyone has some though

Get something on your mind

Hard to let it go?

At its best, it is thought provoking

Ideas from thin air

Planning becomes second nature

Who, what, when, why, where?

Good thoughts are welcoming

OCD kicks in

Images basted in repetition

Let nostalgia begin

Thinking is your best friend

Unless it takes a turn

As if your mind is overheating

and thoughts start to burn

Whether one is a worrier

Whose thoughts will not cease

Or fathoming the unsolvable

depriving of peace

Then one must break the chain

The best way they know

The serenity prayer has the keys

What to keep or let go.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”

Reinhold Niebuhr
