My nightmare called OCD poem

I've finally had a wake up call, it's ruined my whole life
I hadn't realised how much it takes, to understand my life
I've had these thoughts my whole life, I thought they were who I am
What I've just had a lightbulb, waking me from my living hell

I've lived this life since seven years old, I thought this is who I was
I've cried and cried for it to go, but it never went away
As I have grown, it's grown with me, blocking out my growth
It's kept me hidden from the world, scared to show the real me

I could not show myself at all, as the voice within my head
Controlled how I perceived myself, I'm a shadow to my host
My laughter shown, my smile I gave, but the pain was hurting me
I had to hide what my insides, were churning within me
No one knew I hid it well, I could not let them know
In case they didn't understand and they asked me why

I share my words to give you hope, to tell you all today
Your lightbulb moment will come to you, as it did to me today
You'll then understand the power it had, you've taken your life back
Take one step to recovery, walk within your shining light

Say goodbye to OCD and thank it for its help
OCD takes everything, but a strength Within you found
To fight the thoughts inside your head, takes tremendous strength
You are not weak, you are not small, your bravery I am proud
It takes so much to fight this thing, don't ever put yourself down

I bless you all and send my love and pray for you tonight
I'll ask God my father to take care of you all

Love, light and healing energies too you all
