Living With ADHD
/A poem about a person living with ADHD
————
I am not as I seem
I live in my own world with ADHD
Constantly misplacing items at home
Overthinking situations when I'm alone
Sensitive and emotional
I am a hot mess
I shut down when I am stressed
Depressed and anxious, but not knowing why
Searching for experiences to give me a natural high
When I'm able to focus, I tune the world out
To get my attention, you may have to shout
Constant headaches fill my day
My mind is racing even when I can't find words to say
I always feel that I'm behind
I never follow through with what is assigned
I'm easily bored and can't stand routine
I have many goals but rarely follow through with my dreams
Always nervous and socially strange
The world sometimes thinks I am slightly deranged
