ADHD

by Patricia Joan Polhans

A towering inferno raging inside,
A fire brewing that I cannot hide.
Racing thoughts, emotions severe
The fire that brings unquenchable fear.

Fear that the anger cannot be controlled
For life suddenly dropped me into this mold.
Emotions! The gasoline that comes to ignite
The anger, rage, confusion and fright.

Words that come from the outside
Keeps the fire burning with their pride.
Words, sentences and innuendos
Ignite the fire for the towering inferno.

Oh… to only make sense of it all
The whys, the reasons for this call.
No one knows except for the Father
Why this demon came bringing many others.

Each voice screaming out to be satisfied
With actions, destruction, and major fights.
The war goes on within my mind
As I try to hold back the battle inside?

The positives, the negatives are at war
That I think I'll lose my mind for sure.
I can't rationalize my racing thoughts
Though, to many people, answers I've sought.

Why can't my mind seem to concentrate?
Simple tasks I can't even contemplate!
My personality seems that it's being split
Between evil and good, it just won't quit!

Each emotion triggered lights the fire
Confusing the war for it is a liar!
Back and forth they fight with each other
Who will win, will I ever recover?

Many, many sentences come
Louder and louder as I'm labeled as dumb.
I scream as I grasp my hands to my face
Someone help! Remove me from this place!

My brain cries out, "I can take no more!"
Exhausted and drained as I drop to the floor.
I never thought it would ever happen to me,
The curse, the burden, of ADHD!
