OCDPTSDDAD

by gnihtogtn

This OCD means I scrape at my scalp with this dusty razor until only raw skin is left. This depression means I call on my mother to re-open old wounds and spill blood for me. This anxiety means I read her old love poems, scared of whomever received them. This dysphoria means I have frequent nightmares and wake up clutching my head, making sure that my hair is still short and I dream, sometimes of using a saw to hack off my breasts- This dopamine means I feel all of you and see all of me like nobody else.
