PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my mind dares me to obsess once more

to dream of obsessions I can not ignore

my lungs dare me to breathe in again

air from an obsession that will not end

my poems dare me to reread them another time

my hidden secrets dare me to say that I am fine

my obsessions dare me to once again drive myself crazy

my insecurities dare me to always have to seem to worry



my compulsions dare me to complete them again

once, twice, three times, maybe even nine or ten

each moment dares me to forget about the last

my brain dares me to forget about the past

and all the times I gave in to this neverending task

the person inside me dares me to take off this fake mask

but the obsessions and compulsions dare me to hide

keep everything I feel locked away deep inside



my ears dare me to hear my thoughts in my brain

my eyes dare me to see the temptations in vain

my tongue dares me to taste the desire of my obsession

and as I try to sleep my mind dares me to obsess again

my compulsions dare me to perform them before I sleep

my tears dare me to dissapear from these secrets I keep

my feet dare me to take another step towards this depression

my heart dares me to get rid of every single obsession



but I wake up in the morning and the day dares me

to live through another 24 hours living with ocd

my mind becomes a broken record stuck on repeat

the obsessions fall hard onto the ground concrete

I am stuck in a permanent game of truth or dare

I play by the rules but they really aren't fair

they cause me pain and hurt, they cause me distress

and once again I hear my mind dare me to obsess
