adhd



my head is full of noise

the melody of a song i heard on tiktok last week

the scene i watched in a movie three years ago

my english assignment due friday and

two things i need to add to the grocery list

sometimes its like a radio skipping channels, thoughts jarred and broken and talking over each other like announcers competing for a single microphone

sometimes its a single train, chugging on, going in circles and backwards and sideways and upside down, riding old and new tracks, random but never lost and never found

my head is a box full of shiny trinkets, tidbits of my life that clutter every corner, and every so often i stumble upon something i’d forgotten but still remember

my head is a mess

but i like it that way

About this poem

I have ADHD, and quite frankly its a pain in the ass. But my mind works the way it does, and I’ve spent too much time and effort trying to change it. Better to just accept it with open arms.
