My Adhd

I look at them all with their heads in their book then I peer out the window what's that? Have a look! A squirrel passed by and ran under that tree! At this very moment I must go and see! Get back in your seat pay attention to me Now's not the time to be wandering free You're distracting the class you rude little child you must stop acting so random and wild But teacher believe me it really isn't me its just the affects of my ADHD I don't mean to be naughty or rudely interrupt but the way that i'm wired makes me act quite abrupt I sit myself down and I try once more but am further distracted by a sound at the door What's happening out there? I'm dying to know my imagination runs wild and refuses to slow Oh not again are you listening to me? Why can't you focus? Why must you be too easy distracted by a sight or a sound always the one to stand out from the crowd but teacher believe me i've told you before my ADHD's not a thing to ignore I'm not like the others I have different needs less noise for me to focus less sights for me to see This time I sat to listen but a thought popped in my mind I had to let it out though I knew it weren't the time the thought is like a bubble and it fizzes round my brain I have to voice it out or i'll simply go insane! That's another interruption I cant take it anymore you'll have to leave the class walk straight down the corridor your behavior I wont tolerate it simply will not do let the head decide your fete let him tell you what to do I headed down the corridor was going to see the head but then I had another idea for me to do instead I seen people playing on the playground outside so I went out there to join them until it was home time

This poem was written with a lot of heart and soul.It is sad as well. But you gave me more of an understanding about someone that has ADHD. For that I thank you. I also would like to welcome you to Poetry Soup. -Alexis

I find this heartbreakingly sad to read - I work in a school and see many students with this condition - at least now it is more understood and they can be helped - an excellent poem written from the heart:-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
