OCD

By Rebecca Amenta

All I think about.

black black black

Cakes the corners

damages demolishes destroys

Endlessly

failure fatigue frantic

Growing inside of me

harried helpless hollow

I imagine escape from my

jaded jilted journey

Kindled disorder

lavish lewd lost

My mind is my cage

needy nervous noisy

Owned by the obsessions

please please please

Quilted into my life

rabid repetition resisting

Stopping to count

tick tick trapped

Useless compulsive organizing

vexing victim volatile

Waiting for the magic three

xenophobic xenon xeroxed

You cannot save me
