ELSEW here

ELSEW-here.

Lose your footing.
Reach out to find 'there's nothing to stop you from falling.
The ground just gives way, though you are sitting still.

Emotions shift like time-lapsed seasons caught in a seamless loop, but are forms of winter collapsing inwards - though you are sitting still.

You're in two places at once, though you are sitting still.

About this poem:

It is about having OCD. Always being split between it, and the rest of reality.

I like these lines. Simple yet profound.

I surely 'get' the meaning. Thanks for sharing.

It can be a real struggle. I know people who have it and can't control "straightening this and that". They just have to do it. I know someone who starts to tell me a story about something and I'll say "You told me that already" and he'll look at me and keep write on telling it right to the end. So I just listen. A real struggle with a real problem. Thanks for sharing.
