ADHD

it’s like.

how’s it like?

oh, right.

the rain falls in waves

in couplets they flow

most fall down together

but some go it alone

they fall down to the floor

with one job in their mind

others find it easy

but a few are behind

like you.

when the world is asleep and your work is piled up

you know something’s wrong, you can feel it at night

but your mind can’t focus

despite all your might

in school and at home

and in all walks of life

there’s this problem with focusing

almost like - you just can’t get it right

it’s these silly mistakes

and that one missing piece

though you tried so so hard

to find your own golden fleece

it’s when you know what to do

and you know how to do it

but there this and there’s that

so you can’t sit still or work for shit

“hello? are you listening

do you even care?”

yes! yes, friend, of course,

but there’s just so much IN HERE

when you daydream all day

and empathy is too hard

you just want to be accomplished

without that ADHD card

and it’s really not that simple

with that one dumb quarrel

those stereotypes are dangerous

that simplification of oh, look, a squirrel!

so, i’m listening, i am

i care and i’m trying

my head just won’t sit still

and i have trouble with applying

there’s no point in bickering

i’m already marred

i see everyone functioning fine

when i’ve got to work twice as hard

you have to remember

it’s like fifty channels in one big jumble

so you'll just have to excuse me

if occasionally i forget, screw up, and fumble
