In an endless maze with no escape,

thoughts collide with no understanding.

A symphony of chaos of twisted dreams;

become ideas expanding.

Fleeting thoughts suddenly fade,

leaving emptiness in its place.

Dreams become failed attempts.

Bewilderment on my face.

Attention dances losing its balance.

My mind a turbulent storm.

Longing for some direction.

This is ADHD’s norm.

I wish for a normal brain,

that can stay on track for just a minute,

but thoughts bounce back and forth,

pushing my brain to the limit.

One thing after another as if on speed,

however, my brain has the opposite effect,

for speed actually calms me down,

and allows my mind to connect.

This is the uniqueness of my brain,

Once it’s bridled and free to run,

my mind is able to focus again.
