The Retired Bloke

ADHD

I think I suffer from ADHD

As my mind wanders about you see

I try to live my life in the moment

But rapid thoughts in my head prevent

A simple line of sight to see to concentrate

On anything for long. I know this doesn’t exonerate

Me from any blame for poor judgement 

Or for not finishing tasks or being reluctant

To take responsibility for my actions

Or my occasional unexpected reactions

There are some benefits that I can see

Making quick decisions based on what I foresee

ADHD though can be so tiring

The brain always engaged perpetually firing

I would like now and again to have a blank mind

To relax and to discover inner peace and find

The reason for my tiring resistance 

The purpose of my chaotic existence
