You are not alone.

*TRIGGER WARNING for link posted below.*

I have found this beautiful, breathtaking and undeniably heart touching poem about love and OCD, when it came out. I just joined this group and wanted people to know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I am very into slam poetry. It helps me deal with my emotions, and also helps me feel less alone. If you’d like to watch the video, feel free! Just remember, it may be a trigger for you.

Hope you all find some peace today. 💕

Really? When I click on the link, it bring me to another page. Pretty much stating that I clicked on the link. Then the link appears in the color blue. I then click it again, and it takes me to the YouTube video. Let me find a different link for his poem (:

I discovered the Button Poetry series in 2018 and this is one of the first poems I came across, though I've been familiar with slam poetry in its many iterations for decades. Having OCD for about forty years, I wanted to like this poem more than I did. But, as talented as Neil Hilborn clearly is and despite the resonance of some of the lines, the poem leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. It seems exploitative somehow, romanticized. Parts of it ring true, other parts, not as much...still, the performance is engaging and deftly delivered.
