Take My Hand: A Personal Account of Living with ADHD

Take my hand I need you to know, I want to explain, I have a very different brain Take my hand and come with me I want to teach you about ADHD: Sights sounds and thoughts collide What to do first? I can't decide Please understand I'm not to blame I just can't process things the same Take my hand and walk with me Let me show you about ADHD I try to behave, I want to be good But I sometimes forget to do as I should walk with me and wear my shoes you'll see its not the way I'd choose I do know what I'm supposed to do but my brain is slow getting the message through Take my hand and talk with me I rarely think before I talk I often run when I should walk I want to tell you about ADHD It's hard to get my school work done My thoughts are outside having fun I never know just where to start I think with my feelings and see with my heart Take my hand and stand by me I need you to know about ADHD It's hard to explain but I want you to know I can't help letting my feelings show sometimes I'm angry, jealous or sad I feel overwhelmed, frustrated and mad I can't concentrate and I loose all my stuff I try really hard but it's never enough Take my hand and learn with me We need to know more about ADHD I worry a lot about getting things wrong everything I do takes twice as long everyday is exhausting for me looking through the fog of ADHD I'm often so misunderstood I would change in a heartbeat if I could Take my hand and listen to me I want to share a secret about ADHD I want you to know there is more to me I'm not defined by it you see I'm sensitive, kind and lots of fun I'm blamed for things I haven't done I'm the loyalist friend you'll ever know I just need a chance to let it show Take my hand and look at me Just forget about the ADHD I have real feelings just like you the love in my heart is just as true I may have a brain that can never rest but please understand I'm trying my best I want you to know, I need you to see I'm more than the label, I am still me!!!! 🙌🏽 💕
