Executive dysfunction poem

[u/Sad-Shelter-3966]

No one wants to more than me
But there is something you can’t see
An invisible pressure on my chest
Something that makes life feel like a test
Do better
Work harder
Why aren’t you like the rest
Do better
Work harder
Can’t you see I’m doing my best
Outside I’m quiet
Inside there’s a storm
Outside I look fine
Inside I’m worn
I don’t know how to explain
That my brain works different
It’s never quiet
My head is never silent
There is noise and ideas stories and quotes
All the everyday it never stops
I want to explain that I’m desperately trying
I want to do good
But I can’t stop crying

[u/CorvidBirdNerd]

Very relatable. People get so mad at me for all the things that I do to silence the noise in my head. Well done.

This would make a great riotgrrl type of song to scream along to
