So Here I Am Now

so yesterday. they

told me about

this thing-

-ADD. it's

-weird.

-people who have it are weird

they told me

i've got it;

i'm weird.

i don't feel weird

or at least- i didnt

'till yesterday

but i'm the same as i've always been

 

 

it's complicated. i'm not

hyper

(or stupid or lazylike i've always though i was)

it's called 'inatten

tive' adhd

 

thetruthisI'mnormal

but i forget stuff

but i can't concentrate

but i can't study

and i zone out

and i daydream

and it all sounds so normal.

 

but i wish

it were a matter of

willpower

and getting organised

and getting my ****

together

like my parents tell me to.

 

wish i could convince them

it's not some alien religion

i'm not stupid or lazy or- "what the hell is

adhd. that's

just an excuse

getyourshit together."

 

yeah, alright. i know.

i try.
