A Penny For Your Thoughts

Content Warning: themes of intrusive thoughts revolving around harm

A penny for your thoughts?

The person asks me/

But I don't want mine

You can have them for free/

Because who would listen

And not think I'm crazy?/

I know they're irrational,

And yet they still faze me/

Avoid the stairs

Or you'll see you neck breaking/

Don't step on the cracks

Your mother's back's aching/

That cat is real cute

But try not to squeeze/

Just a little too much

And you'd crush her with ease/

Cutting cake with a knife?

Make sure not to fall/

One step and you're dead

And it'd all be your fault/

I see you have pain pills

Left over from surgery/

Better throw them out now

Or you'll end up in emergency/

That person didn't care about you

They hurt you real well/

But revenge isn't worth it

If you end up in a cell/

Wish I could cut my head open

Take a look 'round inside/

But the awful thing is

There's not much that I'd find/

I want them to leave

But here they remain/

Sometimes it'd be easy

Getting hit by a train/

I'm happy-go-lucky

But that's not the real me/

I need help for these thoughts

Or they'll surely kill me/

But now I have therapy

I'm getting some help/

So hey, OCD

You can go f**k yourself/

A penny for you thoughts?

The person asks me/

I'm trying to get better

We'll have to wait and see/
