ADHD

What is ADHD?
Do we know?
Do we understand?
well I do!

Who are you?
I hear you ask,
I'm one of the few given this task!

Task!
I hear you cry
Yes task I reply,
A task that eventually no one will deny.

I'm the person who can explain,
I'm one of the people who have to explain
again & again in vain.

Explain what?
I hear you say,
my disorder
Or so you say!.

First of all you must understand
this wasn't my fault it wasn't planned.
I was born this way, so you see
and "no" mum didn't drop me from her knee.

This was natures way it was meant to be,
and Mother Nature chose little old me.
Cruel! I hear you say,
Well Mother nature has her way.

There are things that I don't understand,
like what Mother nature has planned.
When you first hear ADD
you wonder just what it might be,
Is it catching I hear you ask
"no" you silly ass.

As you go through life you begin to understand
that I'm not the silly one, as originally planned.
I am the kid on everyone's mind,
I am the kid who sit back and see
All the adults argue over me.

"Argue" I hear you shout
"yes" I reply
Argue with something that you cant see,
Argue with the unknown
"that's me".

Its you the adults
the ones that are here,
who live with this disorder
me I have no fear.

I'm the one who has lots of joy,
Playing on my play stations "boy oh boy"
Whilst I am doing this you
see all the adults are fighting over "me".

"Fighting" you ask
what do you mean?
Why cant we work together as a team?.

I come home from school, and go on my machine
mum is on the phone to Dr Doreen,
"she needs a psychiatrist" I hear her shout,
"she needs help & there's no doubt"
who needs help? I reply
me
why?

I come downstairs and have my tea,
Away I go again and play happily,
mum is on the phone again, this time to Dr Bell,
"I do not understand this ADD" I hear her yell,
"is there nothing that we can do"
no my dear I'm afraid it is left up to you!,
the research team are trying with all their might,
to tackle the unknown its fight, fight, fight.

I come downstairs to get a little drink,
I have a little chuckle and a little think.
Forgive me if this is way off line,
but would it not be easier to take the time,
for all those adults to speak to me
After all
It is me who lives with ADD.

They are the ones who argue all day!
They are the ones who wonder every day!
They are the ones who spend thousands of pounds!
They are the ones who walk the grounds!.

I am the one who plays all day!
I am the one who gets by every day!
I am the one who lives with ADD!
"please don't avoid me"
"just ask me"
