Sad feeling

It's a sad feeling.

For them to never acknowledge 

how much you've done for them.

And for them to never realize

how much you've sacrificed just to help them.

The past

It's not the future you're afraid of.

It's repeating the past that makes you anxious.

The valley

 "What do you do when you're in the valley?

You remember what God has done.

When He comforted you.

When He guided you.

When He answered your prayer exactly the way you wanted Him to.

And when He didn't do what you wanted,

but sometime later you realized

it was exactly what you needed.

And you dare to believe that what He's done before, He will do again."

ADHD

 A.D.H.D.

I want to teach you about ADHD.

I need you to know, I want to explain,

I have a very different brain.

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 sometimes I 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 want to tell you about ADHD.

I rarely think before I talk,

I often run when I should walk.

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 my 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 lose 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 want you to know there is more to me.

I'm not defined but 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'm still me!

The prize

I will not battle

for your attention

I am not the fighter

I am the prize

Your tone

Communication tip:

your tone and the way you

say things matters.

You run

If they got you to the point

where you consider

destroying yourself

to prove your love,

you run.

You run

and you don't ever look

back.
