OCD

OCD

Obsessive I know I am
Compulsive, perhaps
I happen to give a damn
as things might collapse
 
Order is important to me
so I can maintain control
All where it’s supposed to be
then its perfection I can extoll

Laura is hosting Poetics tonight at D'Verse
and shared with us some beautiful poems by
Eliabeth Jennings who has a very clear and
direct style of writing.  So Laura has prompted
us with the word "Order" to be used as a noun.

    I can relate to this. But for me OCD was a nightmare. Glad I am recovering now😊

    Maybe some level of OCD is a good thing… (maybe it’s the order in disorder that is needed)

    ah so this prompt touched you to the quick Christine – thank you for being so open and for finding the rhymes – perhaps/collapse a good pairing and together they combine into the anxiety that prompts compulsions!

    Nice lines describing why some prefer order: “I happen to give a damn
    as things might collapse”

    Not quite OCD…but I do love the benefit of order. I can sleep better on that.
    Another good one Christine.
