OCD!

This week for E.L.A (English Language Arts), we had to write a poem in response to a painting. So, I remembered recently, when I went to the museum, Mass MoCA, I saw this artist Sol Lewitt who drew millions of straight lines on giant walls, and I really engoyed it. Later, when I tried writing this poem, I realized it was because I could relate to this artist. Through his art, Sol Lewitt tried to express his OCD, and it reminded me how OCD I can be sometimes, so I wrote my poem about how I feel about this "disorder" I have and how others react to me having it. I also know that many people have OCD with something, maybe not like me, where everything has to be neat or I freak out and have a mental break down, but on something else, like if laces are ot tied, so maybe you can relate to this poem, and artist too.
