Obsession Poem

My Obsessive Mind

I've twisted and turned

night after night

Yet no matter how I've yearned

for sleep to envelop me so tight

It leaves me like a lover spurned

Thoughts that keep churning

throughout my mind

Worries that continue burning

things from which I can't unwind

Nothing am I learning

Obsessions contaminate my brain

leaving exhaustion in their wake

No way is there to refrain

no medication to take

Nor drown it with refreshing rain

They live a life all their own

since days of my youth

Till now when I'm grown

constant thought without any truth

I wish they'd leave me alone
