Ocd Poem by Vision Ghost

Awoke screaming as the agony has found me again
Rapture through my veins and coursing raged pain
My own skin the acid of my torment from within
Sweat brings no cool to the burning of needles pin

Breathing slowly fades to a descent to this anarchy
War upon myself again, shredding skin uncontrollably
With nails, teeth and fingers to ravage my once flesh
As if so caught by the spiders web, an invisible mesh

The approaching fear doth encapsulates within shadows
And hold me in a grip of constant anxiety that bestows
Upon my very person as never once have I found peace
As my body is tormented as I am robbed, I shall cease

Lost in a world I cannot recognise and cannot perceive
The creatures of slime under and within, never to relieve
Struggled so for days in worlds where the air is of acid
Gone are the days in a life where I was so very placid

Reaching the other side but my legs too weak to climb
And so to reach up and claim what is rightfully mine
A portion of love and peace so elusive and so far gone
The loneliness now reminding me that I am the only one

Never the quietness as never the dawn chorus only this
A segment of rejection clustered by all that is not bliss
Nails turning so black with blood underneath escaping
Onto a ground to nourish my footsteps of remembering

The beating upon my head echoes the heart thundering
To try and find the pathway to escape the tormenting
But it’s obscured by the fog of inconsistency and fear
And no where now to fathom a course to safely steer

A sharp intake of breath to find that there is no air
My lungs fill with needles as is another cross to bear
This will never ever rest as it wins it battle upon me
And I am lost in the chaos of wishing I was so free
