Can’t pay attention
Brain broke
Too high a price
Can’t afford the toll
Out of memory
Blind to time
Got distracted from my work
To write down the rhyme

Podcast playing but I don’t hear
I hear but don’t listen
I listen but it’s unclear
Process in and out
Doesn’t hit the brain
All this shame
Driving me insane

Habits live hard
And they die fast
Working to sit still
But it doesn’t last
So much to think about
Just to think at all
Bump into the corner
To avoid a fall

Let me move
Let me be
What works for you
Doesn’t work for me
They call me gifted
They call me rare
My mind diverged
From the truth or dare

I got good grades
Flash good girl smile
Anxiety got me As
4.0 nerd style
But that doesn’t get you help
Doesn’t get what you need
So ladies do the work
Gotta let them see you bleed

So tired I go wild
So restless I need rest
But if you give me urgency
I’m passing every test
Novelty is candy
Need the energetic calm
Got the bounce in my leg
Got the stim toy in my palm

I organize to realize
I couldn’t survive otherwise
Losing things losing minds
Depression working overtime
Need a plan need a break
Keep it real never fake
Be proud of our kind
Break out of the grind

None of this is your fault
Stand strong stand tall
It’s A-D-H-D
That’s all.
