Reading And Thinking At The Same Time

Powerful

Looking at the bright cover of the hard bound book

The same words

Repeated over and over down the front of the book

I knew what it meant

Only a title to so many

Not to me

A man's life story

In the 324 typed pages

One view

A personal account of someone I didn't know

Until now I showed little interest

Now it's all I can think about

What an awful life

The saddest of all

Living in fear of each day

Worried that something might happen

He found a way to work through his troubles

Imaginary or real

Telling a side of life a few people see and others fear

The Man Who Couldn't Stop

By David Adam

OCD And The True Story Of A Life Lost In Thought
