Premium Member Ode to My Brain

Ode to my bipolar brain
Creativity is my favorite thing 
Despite a memory so short
And ADHD of course
Poetry is a sign I’m insane!
Form: Ode


Second Place

There it is
That feeling again
The feeling that
I'll never be one of you
And that
No matter how hard I try
There's something separating us
And I am again
Second place

Adhd Evolution

When we hunted in the field 
all eyes trained upon the kill
someones mind would wander around 
and note we're being hunted down 
ADHD is now a deficit 
back then we'd be dead for definite

Weird Looks

I'm afraid of your weird looks again
I'm just trying to joke with you guys
[REDACTED] made the same joke yesterday
Why isn't it funny anymore?

I don't understand
What is this code you all have?

A Poem of Isolation:Adhd's Influence

I am reaching out to you
Why can't you see my hand
I know it doesn't look like the others
Why can't you see my hand
Please
Look at my hand
I'm begging you
See my hand
Please
Please
See my hand


Scrumbled Brain

Red swing dance
Smooth, cold touch
Foggy white brain
Froggy right pain

Blind, tired heart
Filmy white eyes
Bad handwriting
Bland crayon fighting

Cold leather book
Warm red fire
Nice soft bed
Rest my head

Whats Going On

The world is loud
Everyone speaks in a rhythm I can't understand
They look at me strangely when I offer myself
And they believe I know what I have said

They are speaking another language
And there is no dictionary

Premium Member Sleepless Energy

Attention deficit keeps
my dear man from normal sleep.
He does not know dream stage zees
yet achieves much more than most.
His energy is endless 
despite sleep deprivation.
My love lives life wide asleep.

ADHD Adventurous, Dynamic, Helpful, Daring

It's just who I am; yes, I have ADHD,
But that diagnosis doesn't define me.
Granted, it has its flaws; my mind is far from harmonious,
Yet sometimes I see with such clarity, it's pure utopia.
When I write poetry, creativity comes over me—my happy hour,
And seeing what others can't see, pareidolia is my superpower.

Adhd

#pen
"ADHD"
In the still of the night,
my thoughts are racing
and need erasing.
All I have to do is use my pen,
then the art of writing begins,
the thoughts become silent.
Flowing words onto paper is reliant!
It helps me hide from ADHD for awhile,
It shows in my face with a sincere smile.

ADHD

What does ADHD stand for?

Some people say it stands for
Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder.

I prefer to believe
ADHD truly stands for—
Attention to every Detail
and a Heart full of Dreams.

Remember this
important truth:

While ADHD
can challenge you—

it can reveal
the strength you
already carry inside.

The Struggle Is Real

Every sound is screeching
Every voice is wailing,
Larger than life.
No stillness
Never.

Every eye is on me
When I have to go up there
Alone
The whole class is waiting
For me to 
Finish

They say they need it to pass the test
Or they want to have a good time
But their laughs make our struggle harder
The kids who don’t take Adderall for fun.

Premium Member No More Adhd Sorrow

I gave birth to a lie
And it stole all my time
If ever I could fly
With wings of grime

Look in my eyes
I saw the burning sorrow
Paved with lies
Suffocating tomorrow

Look at me now
Blazing like a star
I feel whole somehow
Knowing I've come far

No more ADHD trance
And it stole so much time
But I'm ready to dance
Sit back and watch me shine

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

It's the Adhd

I have to say
because that's what i do
centre of attention
never listened too
impulsive outspoken
words seep through
blurted and blew
uncontrolled but true
repulsive uncouth
mind mouth aloof
yeah i'm mentally loose
no choice no choose
my feet are my shoes
unprotected and bruised
heart's on the sleeve
you can see every beat
i speak what i see
it's the ADHD

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.

Moment

I used to live greedily for the moment. There was nothing more than the moment. A tumultuous spiral; moment, after broken moment. My kaleidoscope dance through life; clinging to the moment. Now I look back desperate; wishing I could somehow remember how to fit the puzzle pieces back together. Left with nothing more than this moment.

Hauntingly clear

Scattered belongings
Expired dreams
Incomplete ventures
Silent screams

Abandoned ideas
Deserted supplies 
These walls, whisper truth
Nothing real survives 

It reeks of intention
All purpose, decayed
The flesh is long gone
While carcasses stayed 

Representing my failures
With invincible bones 
Symbolic skeletons 
Adorning my home

I’ll never escape
I must reside here
To dwell in regret
It’s hauntingly clear
Form: Rhyme

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 STRENGTH in the CHAOS, my voice won’t FADE,
Imperfectly DRIFTING, in my colors UNBOUND.
Form: Rhyme

Addled

Restlessness, impulsiveness,
loquaciousness, compulsiveness,
distracted inattentiveness 
and tangent railway tracks.

Complexities, anxieties 
and dopamine deficiencies.
Instant gratification please,
relief for my synapse.

Procrastination, wired sensation,
biochemical frustration,
forget to take my medication. 
Frontal lobe relapse.

Rapid heartbeat, fidgety feet,
hypervigilant, unable to sleep,
central nervous system freak.
Neurological cracks.

Inside the Spectrum: A Poetic Memoir

I'm just living a life of an one-eyed AuDHD dude,
Always repeating the cycle every single day 
As folks think I'm acting like a robot,
And always having an undisciplined heart.

They say it's not always seen from the outside,
With history and video games is all I think of
Yet they see me as a young Sheldon,
Thinking being smart is a big blessing.

But I still look like a nerd
As if they see me as a nobody,
I'm still a spud in my eyes
As I'm too different for anything.

Adhd

People don't understand
a lot of your symptoms,
they're quick to put forward
their criticisms.
the struggle is real
people don't understand
how you feel.
its hard to listen
its hard to remember
my family is great
thank god
i'm a member.
i cant keep still
i need to be active
sweating a lot
i'm still attractive.
good at some things
others i'm not
i ask my mum why
because i forgot.
i want to fit in
wherever i can,
and not sit
on the sidelines
till i become a man.
