parvez thats a really good idea i like it. we could compile all out poems in a book of sorts for others to read. if you dont have ocd you dont quite understand it i think all these verse's are true to how we feel about ourself and the world around us it may be of help for others to understand too. i think wrigting poems or short story would be a great idea to dilute the worrisome thoughts away and it could be really enjoyable too.
much love netti

I did suggest that to head office when I wrote the original poem and have heard nought. I thought that not only would they help others especially new sufferers but could be used to raise money and awareness.

I'm feeling down
I'm feeling blue
With no help
What should I do?

The OCD Train
by aishah » Sun Mar 12, 2006 11:42 pm
Hi everyone, I've written this poem tonight for everyone on this forum.

My mind is like a runaway train,
Gaining speed forcefully as it thunders down the rickety track.
Sometimes slowing to a steady pace, but othertimes its as if its a race.
I tighten my grip and hold on tight as I prepare myself for another fight
and wonder if I can manage another night.

The train hurls me this way and that, as it derails going around the bend
It is then that I ask myself "Will I ever mend?"
Back on track now, ready for another day,
but how long before this train runs out of steam
as it ambles alongside a tranquil stream.

The countryside setting is astounding, yet still my hearts pounding
as I anticipate another day aboard this crazy runaway train.
Surrounded by beauty, yet I still cant see it clearly,
as I have a huge dark cloud hanging over my head
and all I want is the security of my bed.

The train gathers speed yet again, full steam ahead!
The thoughts in my head filling me with dread.
I just want to get off and stand firmly on the ground
But the train wont stop and my heart still pounds.

I want to be on the platform and just gaze ahead
and not go through this torment in my head.
At long last the train grinds unexpectedly to a holt, I jump off quickly
and now I am just another blurry face in the crowd.

Insignificant, nobody notices, but I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel nearing,
Maybe, someday soon, I can stop forever fearing
the obstacles that still may lay ahead,
that trouble me relentlessly in my head.

I hope the light when it comes, shines very brightly on each and everyone of us that suffers with this plight.

Regards from Bridget
