They Say That I Have A.D.D. : Giggle Poetry

written by Poet : Codger



They say that I have A.D.D.

That I can’t pay attention

I suppose they really could be right

I just call it mind extension

 

I think so fast I can’t keep up

My mind is constantly working

Thoughts go by with lightning speed

For the good ones I am searching

 

They put me in some special classes

They said I was slow and awkward

If they make me work very much slower

My God I’ll be going backward

 

I see thoughts that others don’t

The pictures are so clear

I talk to them of things I see

But they just call me weird

 

Then they said I needed pills

To help my mind slow down

All they did was screw me up

I feel like a zombie now

 

No more pills, no more docs

I’ll deal with it on my own

I’ll conquer all this madness

Before I’m fully grown

 

I work to hide what’s in my head

I still can’t sleep at night

I’m still determined to beat this thing

You know, by God I might

 

The years have passed, I’m better now

I can handle the thoughts I’m fighting

I let it out with pen or keys

I beat it with my writing

 

It matters not what others think

I know the person I’ve become

I stand up tall and yell at the world

Bring on whatever comes

 

Some days are good, others are not

That’s just the way of life

You learn to roll with any punch

How to deal with all the strife

 

For those who deal with this each day

At the end of this you’ll know

Exactly what the ending means

For the others you’ll have to show

 

They say I still have A.D.D.

That I can’t pay attention

I say that’s a load of crap

****

HEY LOOK, THERE’S A CHICKEN
