sanity!

my reaction after being diagnosed with OCD and the relief it gave me

You say I'm not crazy
hmmm...you don't say?
Sure seems like forever
is how long I've felt that way

You say I'm quite "normal"
and really quite sane
Just an unlucky girl
with an unfortunate brain

So now it's time to analyze
and dredge up my life
Pick apart my brain
your words play the knife

Oh to stop the rituals of mind
and experience genuine spirituality
to finally cut loose
this unrelenting scrupulosity

These obsessions that dominate
turns out they're not ME
Just some bad serotonin
that's skewed reality

I didn't realize then
the Gospel meant for me
Wasn't found in an ancient book
but through meds and therapy

So now it's time to live
though OCD may always be near
I'm slowing down the wheel
of this vicious cycle of fear
