adhd
my head is full of noise
the melody of a song i heard on tiktok last week
the scene i watched in a movie three years ago
my english assignment due friday and
two things i need to add to the grocery list
sometimes its like a radio skipping channels, thoughts jarred and broken and talking over each other like announcers competing for a single microphone
sometimes its a single train, chugging on, going in circles and backwards and sideways and upside down, riding old and new tracks, random but never lost and never found
my head is a box full of shiny trinkets, tidbits of my life that clutter every corner, and every so often i stumble upon something i’d forgotten but still remember
my head is a mess
but i like it that way
About this poem
I have ADHD, and quite frankly its a pain in the ass. But my mind works the way it does, and I’ve spent too much time and effort trying to change it. Better to just accept it with open arms.
