ADHD

ADHD is like,

It’s like,

It’s like,

It’s like…

A wave, overcoming my mind,

Turning it into a cloudy day,

I can’t focus, because I’m too focused.

My mouth is rambling,

My mind is rattling,

I feel like I could fall over at any moment,

Greet the pavement with my face.

Maybe then it would stop,

Clear the way for coherent thoughts.

Intangible optimism,

Suits me well,

Because all I do is worry, worry, worry,

with nobody to tell.

So I write, sitting wih all my might,

Try to stay focused,

Not to feel hopeless,

To remind myself I am not soul-less.

I struggle day to day,

Nervous fixations,

Excited imagination,

Telling myself I matter,

To not give up.

But do my words get through,

The muck that is my brain?
