O.C.D

O. bsessed about the tiniest things,
No matter how irrelevant,
But somehow when the germs are gone you feel oh so benevolent!

C. onsidering whether to double check that they have left no mess...
How can something as small as a crum cause a person so much stress?!

D. eciding whether to make the effort to kill off this disorder,
It could be worse, I could have been a cluttering, messy hoarder!

Just so you know I don't have OCD, but I was inspired by my favourite TV show Monk about a detective who does have it :) I would definitely check it out if you haven't already.

Hair.

So, it STARTED with the tugging, Fine hairs drifting to the ground, Pulling at my scalp a bit, Breaking off without a sound.

Scatter Brain

Once there was a lady They called her Scatter Brain. Her mind was a little shady, Like a book left in the rain. Oh, the pain. Scatter Brain. She didn't know the refrain.
