What is it like To have a quiet mind No screaming chains Tugging you into oblivion Do this No do that Dreaming, screaming Lack of control A zillion projects at once None near completion Most forgotten Speaking thoughtlessly Reacting wrecklessly Four hours to complete What my head finished days ago So many distractions Fight for focus Focus your impulses Leap frog with too many frogs Exhaustion comes Sleep tries to claim Yet sleep is helpless For the mind never stops Your body twitches even dreamless It doesn't let go Emotions under control Then you open your eyes Or is it close them You're never quite sure I finished it I know I did Look at the page it's empty You only thought it done No matter how you try ADHD is always Inside I was a poet once and now I flounder in shallow water searching for my lost voice. |

I can relate .... I also have two grown sons with A.D.D , so you can imagine the years of despair I have gone through Hope |

BRAVO! Being one who suffers from insomnia I can realte to this. I felt like you were describing me...sort of. The only difference being I can focus on one thing at a time. Without sleeping pills though...my mind never shuts down. Love this Crimson Moon. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

My little nephew suffers from ADHD as well as myself so when I look at him I realize what it must have been like for my mom when I was a child. It's difficult but playing dead has never been my forte'. Hugs, |
