OCD (2)

OCD (2) My room outside me is a mess, I crave order inside my head; My brain plays Jigsaw games  Over and over To find the sane, Peace. No bones in me are broken, My sense of self is stolen; Invisible dice Make me think twice Odds and Evens Wrong or right Thoughts?  Disorder tries to confine me - It's not about 'neat and tidy' But fearing Everything Obsessive compulsive Questioning, Doubt.

Animal Rhyme

Animal Rhyme What do you see in the field? A beast that needs to be killed? Or claws and fur that can feel, As you do? What do you see at the zoo? Walking handbags and leather shoes? Or curious creatures like you, As longing? What do you see on the farm? Milk, breakfast and yarn? Or eyes that look back in return, At you too? By LJ. Copyright 2016

White

White The calmest colour is white. I've craved it all my life. And in this moment, white Ceiling, bed and fur quiet My mind, I hear my breath Unwind into calm beneath The white. By LJ. Copyright 2016

Winter

Winter Turning inwards, back against the cold, Crushing leaves I proudly used to show. Summer seems surreal, so long ago, Withered branches hidden under snow. What have the darker days and nights begun? Running to the place that I can't run. Even so I'm looking for the sun, That state I knew, I know, that I came from. By LJ. Copyright 2016

Therapy Cat

Therapy Cat When there is panic inside my head, You are calm, curled up on my bed. When thoughts unpredictable alter my mood, You are like clockwork asking for food. When things are difficult to do that day, You bring me a toy so I have to play. When I sit overwhelmed by thoughts, You sit with me, just because. By LJ. Copyright 2016

OCD (1)

OCD (1) Everything is magnified, Molecules electrified, In earth, in air, personified As being something more. And thought contests for speed of light, No sound, a sudden inner sight Compulsion to do what is right Or what feels secure. Whispers whirl to hurricanes And dust becomes vast desert plains All inside a mental game To figure out the score. By LJ. Copyright 2016
