Mental Independence

They say were strange
Lazy, underachievers, fools, odd, eccentric
They don't got a clue about us
Don't got all the facts to separate from myth
They don't care about our well-being
Castrating mentally disabled from the herd.

They say their just a fable
An urban myth to cover an excuse
For tricky disorders like ADHD and others
I'm living proof that breaks the mold

I'm an achiever with a dream
What makes me weak
Just makes me stronger
Uniqueness is the new norm
Being abnormal is in
Normal is over-rated.

Tired of being discarded
It's time for acceptance
To spread awareness for all
Mental justice for everyone!

Mentality needs nurture
Like a seed needs care
Make a garden of flora
Than a garden of dread.

Look with your heart
Than your deceiving eyes
To see the problem within
That it's in there clear as day
More physical hidden in sight.

Fragility of the mind
Is a precious crystal
That can crack to pieces
If not taken special care
So it can shine like the sun.

Tired of being pushed around
Not being taken seriously
Like the other disabilties
I'm here to shout out
For mental freedom.

Time to break the chains
That have oppressed us
Lets show them
That we deserve
Mental independence for all.

Ode to ADHD

Attention Defeceit Hyperactive Disorder
Split the letters out of the words
You get ADHD out of them
Let's take a closer look
Find out another meaning
To the condition.

A is for achiever
Accomplishments with honors
Passing with flying colors
A confident being with spunk.

D is for diligent
Quick on your feet
Sharp as a tack
Ready for the challenge
To take on tasks
And complete them right away.

H is for hope
Keeping the faith
Looking at the bright side
Turn things around
Hanging onto your dreams
Working to make them true.

D is for dynamic
A real go-getter
You get back up
When you fall
Not taking no
For an answer.

No matter how you spell it
Nor how you may look at it
It has many meanings
You take a closer look
And play around with the words.
