While meds clear it as quick as can be
We fear having ADHD
Since feds put a lock
On our adderall stock
We're macaque or like chimpanzee...

I
veer
my car
over to
write down the opus
that just now formed inside my head
or I will lose it, thanks to my ADHD muse

~ADHD~

Beautiful Coffee spree
Close your eyes and fell high like a tree
Nothing beats the sugar in my energy
I can't live my life caffeine free
Somebody stop me!!!!!

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...

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...

He flutters and flits from thing to thing
  A monarch butterfly, with an ADHD wing
Like a bird he tweets, but cannot sing...
  He's a buzzing bee --
                  -- no pollination, all sting...

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?...

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...

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...

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...

There is a clock on the wall
She has been stuck at one-thirty-three for two years
I stare at her, loving it that she can no longer tick
Her ticking irritated me
Because I am ADHD
I felt all-powerful taking out her battery...

"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.

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....

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...

five and a half
runs up, down, all around
stomp, stomp, stomp, run, run, run, 
high and away
most of the day
do you think he has ADHD? His teenage sister asks me
No, I say. “He’s five and a half. That’s how they are.”
We weren’t like that, she says.
Yes, you were, I tell her.
All of us?
There are six of them.
“All six of you,” I say. 
She looks amazed....

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

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...

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.

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.

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....

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....

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....

My life has sucked. people hating never blaming.
I have no love to give or take. 
No one is nice anymore for goodness sake.
I was     d and abused.
You people always get to choose.
being beat,being scared.
I have a reason for why I share.
Having ADHD is not to hard,but when i'm bullied and I'm teased.
Well that's just down right mean.
having no one to talk to.
Having nothing to do.
What do I have to do?
boys hating me instead of loving.
This boy I know, I'm really in love....
