description: "Although this poem is intended to be light, it still comes from a true, sometimes painful place. It stops feeling light when one's mind does this every day, and it begins to affect relationships and careers. It's easy for someone to attribute this to a personal failing. But it's often not."

# adhd

A Poem by Jacques...

**my brain does this thing where…**

*\[folds clothes\]*

*\[does half the dishes\]*

*\[gets overwhelmed by many unanswered emails\]*

*\[has an idea for a song\]*

*\[wants to learn an instrument\]*

**i don't quite know how to explain it…**

*\[googles adhd\]*

*\[remembers to pick up the kids from school\]*

*\[ruminates over childhood mistakes\]*

*\[gets a plot idea for a forgotten story\]*

*\[regrets writing this\]*

**Eh, never mind.**
