My ADHD

ADHD

Attention

Deficit

Hyperactivity

Disorder

 

I am tired of the stigma that comes with something I can't control

I am tired of being looked at weird because

I act different than them

My brain is wired

not like theirs

The red cord is where the blue goes

And the blue... What was I saying again?

Oh the blue cord is where the red goes

 

I hate coming down

from the high of the medication my doctor

prescribes

I know how normal people

think

I know how they feel

I know how they

see

 

They dont see it as a jumbled up world of distractions

@×÷%#/£

every second of every day

 

Not having to think

about how they have to get through life like this

 

I never knew this was

how people saw the world

 

I thought this was how everyone lived

Most people don't think about how they see life until you can't see it

clearly

Most people don't think about life until they can't think about it

clearly

I can't focus on something for more than

F

i

V

e

minutes

I am tired of being seen as a *disorder*

Having that

lable

rather than something I put in

=effort=

for and could control

 

I'm tired

  • Comment from author about the poem: Hello everyone! This poem is very close to heart. A couple of days ago I got diagnosed with ADHD. I got on medication and my life has already changed so much. However I have already seen people look at me differently. I guess this poem is about wishing things like this could be normalized. I chose to create this as a representation of a mind with ADHD. Hectic. All the love PL xxx❤

    Everybody is different and to label anyone is not right at all, I hope in my long life I have treated EVERYBODY with respect as I do to you Poetry_Lover.

      I'm glad you got it together enough to write this piece. We (that 'normal people' group) need your input to make us aware of ADHD.
      I hope to see more from you.
      Good luck with those drug treatments too

        What is 'normal', what is 'right'? Thank you for reminding us to look at others without judgement or preconceived notion.

        • Poetry_Lover
