ADHD - Our rainbow
The red in us is our fierce, tenacious high energy Passion like a fire, a real warmth to our personality The green is the spring in our step and our coolest composure under pressure We are remarkable at holding it all together. The yellow is our brightness, our endless ideas that shine The blue is the natural flow of our imaginations,...

ADHD - Don't trip up over something that's behind you
It must’ve been a season, not your full story. But every season builds our endurance, another step towards the glory. It has helped you realise, you need time to heal. Sometimes we do really need to sit, just sit and feel. Pick up the pain, don’t focus on the lost time. Its all a part of the plan, you’re going to be just...

ADHD - We can do hard things
We can do hard things Yes we can, we can be the better man, or woman. If that seat looks uncomfortable, bring a cushion. We do not walk alone, our world is not so dark We all have our superpowers and our individual spark, We shine and make our mark. And it shouldn’t feel scary, we need to embrace the journey. Jump into joy, express...

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....

Premium Member Race Track Thinking
Race Track Thinking I didn't choose an ADHD brain. At times a random whispered thought, barely connected, pops in uninvited, insistent to be acknowledged and immediately included in my conversation… Most of the time it's a detour, with minimal disruption. Thoughts drift, barely nudges the adjacent car, and our cars wobble… we stay on course…...

I Feel All
The tag behind my shirt, Feeling like your covered in Dirt. Except, There's nothing there. You just feel unclean, But there's no trace seen. Cars beeping, The tv is on, Someone is playing a song There is too much going on. I need to stay sane My sensory is overwhelmed once again. Its making me want to yell. Stillness is needed, Otherwise I'll get heated. ...

Mr ADHD
Mr ADHD.... I'm Mr. ADHD, it's plain to see, Just to be my friend, you must be crazy. Let alone my partner, that's my forever Be, I love my girl, as she's crazy like me. My mind's a rollercoaster, no brakes, no stop, Thoughts racing, bouncing, like a pinball drop. Hyperactive energy, can't sit still, In this ADHD life, it's a constant thrill. Medications try to tame the beast inside, Ritalin, Adderall, they try to guide. Speed's got...

Living Loudly with ADHD
I hid in the SHADOWS, where whispers feel FAINT, Thoughts tangled in RIDDLES, faceless and COLD, With MEMORIES flitting, like ghosts that will PAINT. Each task feels a CHALLENGE, the world moves SO FAST, With lists barely CATCHING a glance that won’t HOLD, I’m here but not THERE, like a ship’s sail CAST. Yet in the MIRROR, I’ve grown to RESOUND, Found...

Sweet Contradictions
I'm a little too much, or at times not quite enough, I'm too sensitive, too distracted or at times just too tough. I'm too in my head, or say hurtful words without thought, I'm super focused on the ball, and then suddenly, energy's at nought. I either notice it all, or see very little I can be softly spoken...

Premium Member More is Less
How you feel is not enough, You as this is less than function, Avert the feel, replace with stuff, Or suffer states, disjunction. Comparing scrambled eggs to buzzing locust, To the mumbled mind within you, Hocus pocus, lack of locus, There's too much to think or do. Is it magic, the spectacle, the prance of flicked rays? Distracting as you navigate your ways, Through this...

The Devils dance
My words evade me Sweat forms in beads My tongue betrays me At lightening speed Quivering knees Disarm my stance Panic breeds The devil’s dance Something akin To mourning hope Runs through my skin I fail to cope I babble more To ease the hush They must abhor My need to rush Attention Queen Or rambling freak I didn’t mean To over speak ...

Golden retriever energy
Golden retriever energy from a human marshmallow Squidgy, and layers of softness So sickly, it’s yellow Push me and shape me Gelatine-free and never fully set I long for warmth and comfort Never opaque Vulnerable, in my mellow My eyes, a book to be read Transparent, in my lack of mystery Terrified by streams of novels On each day’s invisible stage If they could see my elements As I transmit,...

Hop onboard the overthinker
Hop onboard overthinkers A warm Welcome aboard the overthinker to all our guests, Especially Mr insomnia, and Mrs overthinker, both frequent flyers and our VIP guests I'll be your minds captain for this flight, through awake all damn night, And then on to good mornings beaming bright resort in daylight, We have no nap-overs or drifting-offs scheduled...
