obsessive compulsive Disorder
Mundane tasks spin around her mind
She can’t relax and will seldom unwind
Compulsive actions endlessly repeated
And she cannot rest until they’re completed
Persistent thoughts inside her brain
Are looping continuously again and again
She never sleeps but looks barely awake.
They’ve taken over, there is no escape.
Compulsive Behaviour Therapy may give some relief
With a psychologists help she will slowly perceive
That the repetitive looping inside her skull
May not be beaten but can be controlled.
She’s gradually learning to undermine
Those recuring thoughts taking over her mind
She’s not there yet, but it’s a positive move
And with care and help things will only improve.
