All who have responded I thank you for your comments and encouragement. I will say that this is a poem from memory... haven't had that problem for going on five years now. But the moments of melancholy that my experiences with it caused me still live within me, the source of a sorrowful treasure from which to create I suppose. As I read some of the responses I see that hit a nerve or two with my poem... I am glad to not feel alone with this experience amongst my poetic peers. If anyone felt it, and I know some of you did, then I suppose I did my job. Again, thank you all for your support and encouragement but most of all... thanks for your understanding - it moves me, heart and soul.

Fueling obsession that borders psychosis
It's a sad disease Creeping through my mind
Causing disabilities Of the strangest kind"
