Obsessive

“Wow,” she said

“So you must be like

really neat.”

“Can you organize my locker?”

And all I thought was

Gee,

you think I’m that organized?

You should see my room in the morning.

Which is ironic because

Tidy becomes neurotic

A quirk becomes an idiosyncrasy

A hypochondriac becomes insane

“OCD?” he said

“Yeah,

I knew you had it”

“It’s obvious.”

Obvious,

the word my parents

and therapist

both used

Thank you, Dad.

And hey,

maybe they should change up the acronym

Obvious

Compulsive

Disorder

As in,

it’s obvious when you’re using a disorder

as an adjective.

You aren’t “so OCD”

Plus, saying it that way

is grammatically incorrect

Please speak in proper English,

and don’t hurt my OCD

If anyone here were to be,

it would be me

obviously.
