A.D.D.

The thoughts in my mind

they don't flow... they swirl

and... harder to track

than an A.D.D. squirrel!

There is no order

it's a zig-zagged mess,

I work much harder

and finish with less

I know there's a thing

that I need to do...

and it's on a list

but... I... have a few

I've tried tips and tricks

then methods and meds

yet... I still falter

and frustration spreads

It cuts like a knife

when people throw shade

and don't understand

the efforts I've made

I am not lazy

I care about stuff

I just can't focus

on a thing long enough

That task I started

and then set aside...

it won't leave my head

it's swirling inside

So, I write it down

(latest task tracker) ; )

But, that doesn't work

... I look like a slacker

There must be a way

to make it all work

to get the things done

and not seem a jerk

But, here's to my kind

who can't catch a break

who can't find a way

and live in this ache
