    Default Guy With OCD Recites Poem About Girlfriend

    This kid has OCD, his girlfriend recently left him so to help himself cope he recites a poem about her at a poetry slam. It's kind of sad and maybe a little disturbing or something.....

    And the backyard

    And maybe his happy place.

    His Ex needs to change her name, get plastic surgery, buy a gun and move the fuck away, even then its a 40/60 on her making it a year.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    The scary part was all the weirdo's clapping and hooting it up for him.

    Well dang! The place I read about it said he did. That makes it less interesting.

    He doesn't deserve a beard.

    Soul patch or a dirty sanchez stache maybe. But not a beard.

    Yup.

    Some of those stand-up poetry nights are pretty neat.

    I've never been to one in person, but I woudn't mind, based on some excellent ones I've seen.

    I wonder if they sell beer? BYOB would work, too.

    According to this article that is incorrect. He does have it:

    Man with OCD Blows Internet Away with Hauntingly Stirring Love Poem

    When a poem is powerful enough to get the Internet to stop and take notice, you know it must be something truly special.

    And Neil Hilborn's love poem "OCD" absolutely is.

    Performed during the Individual Finals of this year's Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam, Hilborn's ode to love in the time of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is poignantly punctuated by the poet's palpable on-stage struggle with nervous tics threatening to derail the entire thing.

    After a video of a recital rushed to the top of Reddit this morning, Hilborn made a surprise appearance in the thread to take questions from his newfound fans.

    In his responses, Hilborn confirmed that he has undergone extensive therapy over the past several years which has helped substantially reduce the intensity of his symptoms.

    He also reveals that the poem was originally written some two years ago, and the girl in question has heard it, which lead to an appropriately revolving relationship of getting back together and splitting up a number of times before Hilborn finally called it off.

    If you're looking for more from Hilborn, make sure to check out his other Rustbelt entry, "Mating Habits of the North American Hipster" — the only performance in the entire tournament to earn a perfect score.
