Images

Images, shine like gleaming crystals in my mind
They speak with light, I see and am not blind
Without a sound, words talking with charming design
Visions dancing with my nous in their own time

Like sparklers twinkling in the night
Pictures spin in my being with colors, what a sight
Some are supernova thoughts, burning bright,
Others are luminous fireflies, glittering in flight

Some days it's exhausting, because some images are quite shocking
These aren't voluntary, they just pop in frightening me
Yes they disturb me, but I can only accept, and set them free
I tried fighting it, but I'd get more, it didn't quit

You might say I surrender to thoughts of evil
But you should try fighting such a devil
It's Hell on earth not below, but you don't understand or know
Have you lived in my skin, or walked where I've been

I ask you this because you need to open your heart
Stop condeming those who are different and do your part
I may be different, this is true
But I still need to be loved and accepted too

Here is a poem I wrote about the intrusive thoughts that I get because of my OCD

    Brilliant!

    Stevie..this is so heartfelt and sad...but so true of today's society. Thank goodness not everyone is blind to 'mental' issues. You have voiced your thoughts well. Keep up the writing
