Poetry: The obsession escape was my outlet

Do not become so obsessed in your collecting, that you leave no room for life then, to enter your life, your collection. Be careful of obsession!

I was in so much extreme pain in my life,

that I developed an obsessional diversion.

I collected things so excessively, obsessively,

nothing else seemed to matter, but this version.

Any obsession based on itself, destroys, 

and even an obsession based on other things,

loses you in itself too. It's better to be yourself,

in yourself, and leave all obsessions, all alone.

An obsession lifts you from the normalcy,

but it places you in itself, so you are not you.

Dedication has nothing to do with obsession,

unless you stay alive to yourself in you, as you.

Obsession motivated me, with no room for me.

Genius and obsession are linked to its madness.

We need to balance our lives with love to see,

obsession only sees from its own colour, black.
