OCD is lucifers most loyal henchman. He takes no lunch breaks. No days off. Except one or two just for kicks. Life feels good again. You stop to smell the roses and whatever other ******** normal people do. Right on cue, he claws his way up just in time to burn your life down before it ever had a chance to bloom. He comes back right when you thought you were safe from longing for the quiet embrace of death ever again. If the devil showed up to my doorstep, I like to think I wouldn’t ask to join him in hell just to escape mine.
