ADHD
Sudden movements across the cluttered field that is the human brain
Eyes dart from one focal point to the next
Never really grasping full attention
Never understanding the the words and phrases that bounce freely in my head
I try to grip focus for my own good, it just doesn’t work out
They ask me if I’m listening; if I care
The answer is yes
Is that so hard to believe?
It’s not a condition, as much as it is a state of mind
I want to give you my full attention
I really do
I’ll listen to you with intent to follow orders, but can never follow through
Don’t get mad at me
When you speak I think of anything and everything but the words the drop from your lips
If only you understood my constant madhouse of a mind
My jungle head works too fast

I wrote this to emphasize what it is like inside the mind of someone who struggles with ADHD, and what it constantly feels like inside my hectic mind.
