ADHD, school, and multiple concussion syndrome.

Tue, 05/13/2014 - 20:06 -- Maddyb

I sit in my desk staring at everyone around me

my mind shifts constantly, but my facial expression is blank

you would never know the masterpiece of absolute nothingness projecting through my thoughts

Multiple blows to my brain don't help, I retreat into my own world; it's safe there

you only have to worry when all those thoughts spill out like a waterfall, free flowing

My thoughts aren't dangerous, they can just be obnoxious or intimidating

you'd think my mind would be tired by the end of the day, but the concussions won't let me sleep

then ADHD comes in with music and dreams, it mocks my attempts of resting

finally I sleep, if just for a little, before I'm awakened by my ever conscious brain

like a lightning strike, my mind bursts to life in colors and noise

It never ends, just a new flood of thoughts each day..
