1 Obsession is kind to me, it offers reassurance
2 It has its own special way of luring us
3 Obsession is always in mind
4 Even though it causes me to be blind
5 No matter the obsession if it’s big or small
6 It finds a way to control us all
7 Obsession, whether it’s shallow or deep
8 Causes most of us to become weak
9 Obsession controls me
10 Though I don’t wish to be free
11 It is mine to keep forever
12 Or for as long as it consumes me
13 My brain becomes fogged with the obsession that is mine
14 And when I feel like letting go, ‘no don’t leave’ it whines
15 I act on my obsession
16 Sometimes with aggression
17 My friends think I’m crazy
18 They say, ‘perhaps someday she may see.’
19 My obsession isn’t bad
20 At least I don’t think it to be
21 I tell myself Obsessions can be good
22 All this time I’ve been insecure
23 Maybe it’s time to give up I say
24 It’s time for this obsession to go away
25 As I begin to let go
26 Obsession tries to retake control
27 ‘You’re mine.’ it sneered
28 At that I let go and my brain suddenly cleared
29 There was no longer a strange ring in my head
30 There was no longer any dread
31 ‘I’m free!’ I cheered, ‘I’m finally free’
32 And now I can finally be… me
