Pull the pin

By BrenPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

i had ADD

before it

became fashionable

still got it

can't shake it

can't make it go away

don't want it

can’t fake it

cant make it go my way

i had ADD

before i forgot

what i was saying

still got it

can’t break it

don't know another way

it's no big deal

i just can’t feel

and tomorrow

is already today

i had ADD

before it became a trend

before it was an actual thing

Adderall and Ritalin

don’t help

unless i wanna

stay up all night

the mind and the words

a game in reverse

a shame

so perverse

a neurological curse

can’t cake it

can’t bake it

my mind

i break it

...oh look a puppy
