OCD

Silence all around you, voices begging in your head



Begging for death, for it all to stop, no more pain-


But it all continues-


The pain, the misery, the hell on earth


Incomparable, not understandable by any outside


The padded walls that line your mind


taking in the silent screaming that begs


for death, for it all to stop, no more pain..






There are no choices, only the driving compulsions


“not worthy, not worthy, never enough for her”


No happiness, no relief, no end to all the misery


Waiting for some sort of reprieve,


A release, some God-given way out


The days drag on with only disquiet


The small voice in the back of your mind-


“not worthy, not worthy, never enough for anyone”






Let it end! Make it stop! The continual cry


For help, for love, for someone to try


Can’t change these feelings, rooted so deep


Eating, decaying, destroying all inside


Happiness was all you wanted, a chance to shine


But this curse, this gift, this hell on earth


Kills all in sight, destroys any light


You cry at night to someone, to anyone


For help, for love, for someone to try…






You wait in the darkness. Silence surrounds.


First one ray, then others will pierce through the night


Hope trickles in like a stream in a desert


A hand pulls you up from the black of your mind


Another joins, then another and another


Till you break through the shadows


The daylight streams in, destroying all that blinds you


The journey is over-you’ve made it at last


The enemy’s defeated, humiliated, destroyed






No longer will sadness and gloom pervade


Your mind is your own, your choices to make


Lift up your head, break through and shine


It’s your day, it’s your time
