Bonds Between Worlds

I'm a dragonfly 
Who flies alone
Yet in life
This dragonfly
Wants to fly 
In a group than solo.

Though there are times
I want to be alone
To be with my thoughts
Have some serenity
But what is harmony
Without discord?

I envy the people in reality
Who have somebody to be with
A pack to run off on wild adventures
I just wish they could invite me
Along for the ride-even if it was for a day
To feel like that I belong with them.

I want to connect to people
But it's tough to form a bond
Like tying together a rope
To make a perfect knot
When I try to make one
It just looks distorted.

Is it because of my ADHD?
Is it because of my uniqueness?
Is it because I cling too much?
Maybe it isn't because they don't
See through the shell of a clam
To see the beautiful pearl within.

Reality can be tricky
Digitality is much easy
For I know I have people
Here in the digital world
Who welcome me with open arms
There for me if I ever feel down.

But Reality isn't bad either
For as an old saying goes
Your more happier with few
Than having thousands of friends
Because those closest to you
Will always have your back.

That goes for Digitality
The friends that I have
Will always be there for you
No matter if you live a part
Because their close in my heart.

Sometimes I am clouded with doubt
Caught in a sea of despair
When thinking such lonesome thoughts
But there is a hand reaching in
To bring me back to the Land of Happiness
Because my friends are with me.

Maybe I think too much on loneliness
In the real world to realize that
I have bonds with a few in reality
That are close to me just as the bonds
Of those in digitality are to me
I have a web of bonds without knowing myself.

The Web of bonds that trascend 
The two worlds of reality and digitality
I've made a bond with incredible people
Who enjoy my company as I enjoy theirs
The times we spend together are precious in reality
Just as the times in digitality are also precious.

This dragonfly isn't alone
I have my own flock to fly with
Even if their far away from her home
With a few nearby to converse
I'm happy to know that I have friends
In Reality and Digitality.

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.

ADHD
ADD
AHD
DHD
HD
D
A

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.
