I was born with ADD
I got it from my father
I suppose he got it from his father.

2.
ADD is about acting on impulse
One has to learn to
How to not fall to impulse

3.
I find it’s hard
To pay attention
To the worl… Ooo a penny!

I have heard
People with ADD
Do crazy things like jump off trees

5.
I always seem to shake my leg
For no apparent reason
Maybe it’s my nerves…or my unwillingness to sit still

6.
The internet
Is one of the best ways
To lose track of time

My reflexes are amazing
And yet I still find myself
Clumsy…

8.
When I was 5
I played with fire
My mother didn’t like that much.

9.
Sometimes
When I have something important to say
The thought runs away, leading me to forget.

10.
Randomness
Is the mysterious soul
Of ADD.

11.
The television
In my mind
Is always on…
