My Compulsions Keep Me Up At Night...

I lay awake in the dark.
I cannot sleep.
My mind won't settle.

So many things are wrong.

My room isn't clean enough.

My clothes aren't all facing the same way.

My books aren't in the right order.
One is missing from the shelf.

It needs to be fixed.
I need to fix it.
I can't sleep until it's right. Until it's perfect.
