A.D.D. isn't all it is cracked up to be

by diamonds-undone

Wall to wall and ceiling to floor They bounce and shake their sheltered home My thoughts whirl in a whirlwind of smoke One after the other, there they go Chasing after one another innocently My mind enjoys the play of tag One moment its thinking of this Another of thinking of that My A.D.D. Is getting out of hand Words that are spoken to me Go over my head My mind would rather dream instead Work is a chore for my focus, It wavers and is forgetful My mind doesn't care if it is important Sleeping is pitiful For the dreams are bursting in My mind that cannot rest Getting up is a joke The midnight dreams want to be relived My mind is too nice to reject them A shower takes hours The water is so nice for a daydream to run wild My mind gets clouded with the steam Everyday task gets overwhelming When my attention runs in the opposite direction My mind decided to go and wander A.D.D. Has left me insane It had given birth to depression and anxiety My mind is in shambles
