A day in the life of being me
To suffer from O.C.D. tainted with A.D.D.
Now add a splash of Bipolar
Having days when my moods are all over
Next, mix in P.T.S. Disorder
Where I hide behind my safety borders
Reliving experiences from my past
As they cloud my Today’s and kick my ass
Other days explode worry and fear
For myself and those, I hold dear
Imaginary woes consuming my days
Depression, worry, anger -feeling crazed
Trapped by a never-ending loop
Medication does not comfort nor does soup
An endless hunt for enjoyment
Seeking to find some kind of excitement
Each day a constant struggle
From a million thoughts, my mind does juggle
Hoping to find the path of least resistance
Riding the waves of my bane existence
