Life with ADHD

wrote during a test at school

Oh look,

someone's tapping a pen,

now someone is quietly talking. 

My brain's a mess,

full of thoughts and ideas,

that shall never be put onto paper.

Papers shuffling, 

I'm all askew,

can't think quite right, 

but I swear,

I really am bright.

I cannot sit still,

I can' rarely complete simple tasks fully.

But I'm just another,

fool with a disorder.

I don't think,

nor do I act like you.

I'm cursed to a life,

full of bad grades,

and being horrible when it comes to social situations.

Thanks heredity,

haha kidding,

but seriously f**k you.

I'm not going to blend, 

with societal normals, 

no matter how many,

PILLS,

you force me to swallow.

Author's Note

yea, a few curses in here, I know.

Wow. This is...really deep. Having ADHD myself, I know exactly what you are feeling. Not many people write about this stuff which makes me appreciate this poem a lot. Well done.
