I wake in pieces, scattered in the dawn,
A mind too crowded, yet too far gone.
Thoughts collide like waves that crash and break,
But I’m still here, though hard to stay awake.

In the mirror, I’m a stranger's face,
I catch my breath, but can’t keep up the pace.
I reach for words, but they slip like sand,
I never know if I’m still in command.

One moment, I’m me, then someone I don’t know,
Shifting shapes in a world that never slows.
Who am I now, who will I be tomorrow?
The faces blur, and I feel the sorrow.

The chaos inside is loud, too loud to fight,
A storm of thoughts that twists the day into night.
I’m lost in noise, in a constant race,
But no one can see it, this fractured space.

I feel the pull of a thousand hands,
Each one desperate to understand.
But no one listens, no one sees,
That I'm just trying to find some peace.

ADHD, a fire burning fast,
No pause to catch my breath, to make it last.
I’m always moving, always spinning ‘round,
In a world that says "sit still" but won’t slow down.

Autism, a barrier none can touch,
I want to connect, but I’m too much,
Or maybe I’m not enough, it’s hard to tell,
Living in a body where I rarely dwell.

BPD pulls me under, then sets me free,
Loving too hard, or not enough to see.
I swing from heaven to earth, then crash,
Trying to hold on, but it’s all too rash.

Each piece of me is hidden from the view,
And every day, I try to make it through.
A puzzle unsolved, a question untold,
In a world that demands I fit, but I’m too bold.

And sometimes, when I’m brave enough to fall,
I wonder if I’ll ever feel whole at all.
