compultion



I don't have OCD; it doesn't exist.
I can prove it; I made you a list
with bullet points and numbers.
Just read it and don't mumble,
and you'll quickly get the gist.

Stop comparing me to the Reich.
It's just simpler to do it the way I like.
I don't have to do it; you wanna bet?
I'll leave it unfinished, no sweat.
If you can't understand, then take a hike.

Change the subject, have a chat,
casually talk about this and that.
I'm not thinking about it; "I'M NOT LOOKING."
Keep talking; it's not off-putting.
"FOR F*CK'S SAKE," just rotate that.
