ADHD Believe in its brilliance

No I won’t be afraid to speak my mind. I’ll speak it with empathy though, I promise to keep it kind. No I won’t be contained by negative thinking. Not anymore. All of those thoughts are to be mopped up off the floor. No, thats not me, I am persistent, consistent, resistant, a brilliantly bonkers personal assistant. On the outside I am anyway. Complete colour. No grey. I have ADHD And I was born this way, and now i know why. So now I am free Free to be non-linear, Spontaneous. Free to be me. No I can’t remember that phone number, and people do wonder about what they see. Let them, let them be. They are them. This is me. I can see patterns and sense if something is off amongst the chaos My mind is broad, I see more, notice more. Yes, That is my wardrobe on the floor. But do I want to change me? Once upon a time. Maybe. Why don’t I ‘adult’ the same? Why can’t I remember people's names? But now I know why. So no, I don't want to change a thing. I am comfortable, compassionate and confident enough now to sing. I look forward to what amazing ideas the next day will bring. I work in ways with immeasurable amounts of willingness, simply to help others. Can you hear me? My language is deep, as i said, always with empathy. No I don’t tick all the ‘typical’ boxes. But this is me. I wake up knowing I am kind, I am brave, I have ADHD.
