The Boy with ADHD
They say that it's an illness
But it doesn't work with an Antibiotic
But now I remember
I was told it's a diagnostic
I never thought I would be different
But I like the way I am
Sometimes I am indecisive
I don't always have a plan
Structure is the worst
I don't always think it will be that bad
I can't remember where I put things
Then I might just say
Sorry , that's my bad
I don't feel like I fit in
I don't like being formal
I think that word is crazy
It's okay if I am not normal
I don't have to feel ashamed
Because I am picture
that can't be framed
When I'm at my best
I am a lion
who can't be tamed
I hate to wear normal colours
I'm as bright as I can be
A little bit of pink
Is like a star
On top of a Christmas tree
They ask me how I feel
And some days I am okay
But it feels like my mind
Will be In peace
And the next moment
In a marathon race
Overthinking and Anxiety
It is very underrated
But when you have ADHD
It's a couple who can't be separated
Like a striker I just scored
So many unfinished tasks
Let's play guitar
Learn the piano
Let's do this
Oh Im sorry I am Bored
It's something I can't explain
To take narcotics for my brain
Am I really this bad
Or did society give this name
I always have a choice
But I don't know what to choose
Always dreaming big
But everything to loose
My heart is full of love
Yet I feel like I'm always scared
I'm a Victim Of ADHD
Yet I know , nobody cares
Through everything in life
It's one thing I cannot change
I sometimes shout tree bark
Just to let them know I'm kinda strange
About this poem
It is written in the mind of someone who has ADHD , for my whole life I have struggled with this part of my brain and I never knew how to tell someone how I feel , because it's not just about ADHD it's about what people go through and how it can affect us everyday it's definitely a diagnostic that needs more attention and Awareness. I just hope this can Inspire anyone struggling or confused about how they are feeling.
