From my heart ......... | ADHD Information

Share

We've all been there but you put it so eloquently.  I sometimes write for therapy too.  This needs to be seen by people. Have you had anything published in the past?

Thanks everyone ! 

Your kind words are appreciated. 

My son's day at school was much better than yesterday, thank goodness!!

 

 

That is great.. I am here at work and have tears in my eyes.. I am going to print it out...

you are a very good writer...Great Poem!  You have such a creative mind!  Thanks for sharing!  And Happy Turkey Day....This is wonderful, you should publish it someplace ( you may want to send it to CHADD)Thanks for sharing!thats beautiful! Very nice flow to it!Beautiful poem!! Thanks for sharing!!

Awww shucks!!

I never thought about doing anything with it but will look into sending it to somewhere such as CHADD.  Other parents may get something from it as you guys have. 

I am glad it touched you and that you can connect with it in your own ways.

My eyes were getting misty as I read that. It was a beautiful poem! Thanks for sharing it with us.

He's so close to my heart

that son of mine,

he means the world to me.

I try so hard to make things right

but sometimes it feels like it's not meant to be

 

I tend not to say he is ADHD

Not from shame,

but because it's a label

Too many times we have been judged

Gossip it did enable

 

Thoughtful, loving and sweet

Are some words that spring to mind,

He is someone you'd want to meet,

funny, energetic and kind.

 

My heart breaks for him right now,

as he goes through another tough time.

Just when you think things are going great,

Another mountain is ahead for us to climb.

 

I worry for his future,

will he be OK?

His self esteem we try to nurture,

but it gets a beating every day.

 

I wonder all the time

"What am I doing wrong?"

Maybe he'd be better off with someone else

who can help him get along

 

Today I feel like a failure

as I send him off to school.

It's the last place he wants to be,

he says it's "hell" and that his teachers are fools

 

Excuse me while I wallow in self pity

I promise, it's just for a moment

I long for some normality,

A day of peace and contentment.

 

My tears flow freely as I busily write

It helps to let it all out.

Ready to face the afterschool onslaught

of rage, frustration and time out

 

If this is the way it's meant to be,

then I wouldn't have it any other way.

I wouldn't swap him for anything,

I love him more than I can say.

Thanks Barb. 

Yes I did write it, this morning.  I find it therapeutic and felt like sharing it with you all.

Thats really beautiful! Did you write it?

 

That is very nice!!  Thanks for sharing

What a beautiful poem and words and feelings we can all relate to. Thank you for sharing

Hi I am new here and I loved this poem!It says everything I feel about my son. I love him so much and I want to help him in every way I can. Thanks for making me feel that I'm not alone. None of my family really understands this disease and I am still learning myself. Keep up the great writing!

You are most certainly not alone Biedas!

It's great to see others relate to my poem as it makes me realise I am not alone either.  We all have good days and bad days .... I wrote this on a bad day and it was very helpful.  I think we try to brush our feelings aside as we have more important things to attend to.  I think it helps to acknowledge how we feel.

Not at all.

Have just been reading some of the poems, very enjoyable!  There's some great writers out there. 

You have written some awesome poems Davidornado!

Thanks!

I couldn't believe what I was reading. It was as if I had written the words myself. I just sat here and bawled.  It is a constant struggle trying to maintain a sense of normalcy when it seem as tho the whole world is against my son. Including my husband of only 1.5 years. He never had children of his own, and just cannot deal. So where do I go from here? I feel so alone in this fight. Your poem made me see that maybe I am not alone? Maybe there are others out there with the same struggles? The same worries that I have about my sons future?

Biedas:

Welcome here! You are not alone. Many of us here deal with the same  just like you.

I hope this site helps you as it has helped me. I am a different person ever since I found this place bcause here I can share everything that comes into my mind in regard to my son's adhd. Is is not the same at all with my husband or my family.

yoByekalB your poem is a precious gift...... to put into words so accurately, the feelings of someone on the other side of the planet.... is trully powerful...... and as i sit here with eyes full of tears....... its not all sadness, its also joy that someone else totally understands......

 


 

Thank you!

Hello there, I know what you mean.  My son is close to my heart....he is my heart.  I am so glad I can finally talk to someone who understands.
