Understanding A.D.H.D.

I need you to know, I want to explain, I have a very different brain.

Sights, sounds, and thoughts collide. What to do first? I can’t decide. Please understand I’m not to blame, I just can’t process things the same.

Take my hand and walk with me, Let me show you about ADHD. I try to behave, I want to be good,

But I sometimes forget to do as I should. Walk with me and wear my shoes, You’ll see its not the way I’d choose.

I do know what I’m supposed to do, but my brain is slow getting the message through.

Take my hand and talk with me, I want to tell you about ADHD. I rarely think before I talk,

I often run when I should walk. It’s hard to get my school work done,

My thoughts are outside having fun. I never know just where to start,

I think with my feelings and see with my heart. Take my hand and stand by me,

I need you to know about ADHD. It’s hard to explain but I want you to know, I can’t help letting my feelings show.

Sometimes I’m angry, jealous, or sad. I feel overwhelmed, frustrated, and mad.

I can’t concentrate and I lose all my stuff. I try really hard but it’s never enough.

Take my hand and learn with me, We need to know more about ADHD.

I worry a lot about getting things wrong, Everything I do takes twice as long.

Everyday is exhausting for me… Looking through the fog of ADHD.

I’m often so misunderstood, I would change in a heartbeat if I could.

Take my hand and listen to me, I want to share a secret about ADHD.

I want you to know there is more to me. I’m not defined by it, you see.

I’m sensitive, kind and lots of fun. I’m blamed for things I haven’t done.

I’m the loyalist friend you’ll ever know, I just need a chance to let it show.

Take my hand and look at me, Just forget about the ADHD. I have real feelings just like you.

The love in my heart is just as true. I may have a brain that can never rest,

But please understand I’m trying my best. I want you to know, I need you to see,

I’m more than the label, I am still me!!!!
