It's an ADHD thing

Conversations with my shadow self

little voices turn into little people,

Who sit in a judgement circle

Archetypes of the different self,

and the shadow self sits as judge

Hope to it's left and faith to the right,

as the drama queen calls for order

The pacifist dreams

The defense placates the tragedy,

As the prosecutor states the facts!

Like the slaughter man displays the entrails

nerves ripped raw, and feeling exposed.

The question?

The question asked once more?

Again and again

it echoes

Around and around in a thoughtless skull,

who am I?

The child that was?

A women incomplete?

A day before it's dawn?

I am an illness

A person or the prison?

I am all this and so much more!

I am the kind heart!

The soft ear

The wise mind,

the open heart

I am the shadow.

The grey that stands between dark and light,

the sanity in madness

Yes I am all this,

but so much less, second class,

A mad man and fool, the time waster loony

A burden to all

The mind displays thoughts in several monochrome forms,

playing history in distorted views, lies wrapped in half truths

attacking body and soul.

As the silent screams echo in the void

the mortal form reflects normality,

while hiding the darkest truth.

Now the battle begins.

I watch each blow in the battle for my mind,

releasing no matter who wins,

the battle will never end.

Its an ADHD thing.

Sorry for how long this is. Just started and couldn't stop.

Worth the read. I've not read much on the subject but I always appreciate writing that allows me to feel or understand things better. Wonderfully descriptive writing.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love to write things people can understand and also visualize.
