OCD

Bacteria on my skin, in my eyes, upon my lips, all over my finger tips.
My brain is firing white cells to destroy these forgien spores but they are building in the millions and now I'm covered in sores that seep and pour, bursting septic bile all over the floor.Β
I bath in isopropyl alcohol that I stole from work, bleaching my skin abrasively ripping dead cells from within but I'm down to the bone trying to target the elusive zone.Β
The doctors have mentioned the cause as a vicious vortex steming from my orbitofrontal cortex, a good blast of Electroconvulsive therapy is what I need but I concur, no longer shall I my body endure this plague.Β
Tipping a gallon of flammable fuel down my throat I burst into flames destroying my bacterial infestation, my charade remains I'm sure will haunt the dreams of my family for years, but I'm free now from my disease, no more crawling tears.Β

Wow!! Gerard this is such a powerful piece. What a journey it took me on. It reminded me of some of the individuals who I used to advise & support, who were sufferers of this condition, when I worked in the Welfare to Work sector. Itβs a hugely debilitating & life changing conditions for many. Thank you for sharing ??
Thank you Tracey for reading and commenting, I don't suffer from OCD myself but I've been in a position in my life where I thought I was going mad, I wanted to hurt the ones I love and destroy myself, this poem stems from many different aspects of my life, paranoia particularly to which I have been subjected to from my mind.Β
Thank you.Β
This is exceptionally impressive and coherently elucidates what goes on in our minds at many times in our lives and how we self diagnose n reach a conclusion about a health condition when we are totally healthy. . Paranoia is not easy to deal with as its engulfed with so much anxiety and panic. Β The way you have captured it , quddos Β andΒ ????.
