OCD Is The Antithesis Of Good Ideas

Another deep truth,
Which I’ve long felt about myself,
—Even before having a name for OCD,

Is that,
All of these intricately, creative yet destructive thoughts,
Represent an entirely valid possibility of abstract ideas,
And subsequent actions;

They represent,
Exactly what I wouldn’t want to do,
With my creative and mental energies;

Possible,
Yet totally undesirable,

And I am somebody who lives for the possible,
—Not the merely expected;

This is something which I’ve felt since long before,
And the inclination to indulge in abstract thought,
And daydreaming, evident overthinking,
Combined with a physical sensitivity, prone to anxiety,

It feels like a perfect recipe,
For pure OCD!
