Dear Ms Johnson

ADD/ADHD in the classroom from a student's perspective

Dear Ms Johnson,

I regret to inform you I don't 

Know what I'm doing�" 

I can't

I haven't done anything

Really I can't 

I can't do anything

I can't

You see

Dear Ms Johnson,

There's been plenty of time

The fault's all mine

I'm insufficient

Ignorant

Inconsequential 

An imbecile, truly 

But Dear Ms Johnson,

I had a plan!

5 hours was enough, right?

5 hours was enough

To get it all done, 5 hours would be enough

5 hours should be It would be more than enough,

This was my fight:

Hour 1: Plan out what's best

Hour 2: I don't remember

Hour 3: Open the text

Hour 4: It's all a blur

Hour 5: I panicked because what's next?

Wasting 4 hours, 5, forever

Forever is waisted

All my hours are waisted 

I'm waisted

Worthless, forgetful, distracted, a procrastinator 

Or could it be that I'm just

Stupid?

Dear Ms Johnson

It's like you've always said

I've nothing to offer

I'm lazy and two-faced,

A classic basket case,

Can't get my story straight,

Eyes locked on walls from inside my bed

All the time in the world doesn't matter 

When I do everything last minute.

Dear Ms Johnson,

No, I haven't done anything

No, I haven't even started

No, I don't know what I do with my time

No, I wasn't paying attention

No, I don't have an answer to your question 

But Dear Ms Johnson,

Yes, I lost track of time

Yes, I did absolutely nothing for 2 hours

Yes, I need another extension

Yes, I heard you the first time

Yes, I thought I was paying attention!

And yes, I'm exhausted just thinking about it!

Forever is waisted

All my hours are waisted 

I'm waisted

Worthless, forgetful, distracted, a procrastinator 

Or it could be that I'm just

Stupid.
