Feed the obsession watch it grow.
Filling the emptiness inside your soul,
this obsession you have is out of control.
Do you ever stop and think to put it down?
The sick routine that now keeps you bound.
Bound to what you once seemed to hate.
Your sick obsession has sealed your fate.
Consuming you completely your lost inside.
The person you once were being pushed to the side.
You live, eat and breath it each and every day.
Will you let go and be okay?
Feed the obsession until it feeds you right back.
You have given to it what it seemed to lack.
Consuming you completely and swallowing you whole,
it's taken your life and left no soul.

Interesting rhymes in this. Obsession is such a fantastic word to play with and you have done a fine job of using the concept well too!
-
Much awesomeness here!!!! This is sooooo close to perfect, it's scary (please note, I do not believe the "perfect" poem exists so no insult intended). This write is soooo... soooo...
Darnflibit! I wish I could do that! -
You did an excellent with this!!
I appauld you on this, very well
written...Keara -
This is really good. You describe very completely what an obsession is and will do. It flowed nicely as well.
-
This is amazingly awesome. It has a really nice flow, i haven't seen something go together this perfectly for a while. I also like how you don't exactly say what the obsession is so it can speak to anyone with an obsession, not just cutting or something. very good write. <3
-
Did it? That's odd but i'm glad you connected with it.
-
WOW. This is really good. I liked it a lot. It was very well written. Just beautiful.
-
woooooooaaaaah. that was deep. and i liked it cuz it wasnt one specific obsession, it left it broad, and contained them all. i expecially love the lines 'Feed the obsession until it feeds you right back.
You have given to it what it seemed to lack.
Consuming you completely and swallowing you whole,
it's taken your life and left no soul.'
it wraps it all up and goes parallel from the begining.
incredible write, keep up the great work! -
Okay,okay...that was seriously deep...but it felt like it was directly speaking to me...good job
