If Only Brains Could Change

 My life is at a crossroads

My future unwinding

My decisions repeal my motives

My struggles alone continue

How did I end up here?

Why does the road take this path?

Why can't my path be straight?

How do I get back on track?

My brain cries mutany at every turn

Those formulas have retreated swiftly

This Disorder robs my Attention

This Deficit won't let go

These pills I swallow every day

While task simply go undone

Lists are scribbled, chimes ring loud

Why can't I remember where to begin?

The inner struggle continues

My dedication tested

No matter how deep the turmoil

I am destined to prevail

I have planned my attack

Faulty connections embraced

My motivation has been strengthened

My cheering section elated

High school was just the beginning

A long road lies ahead

My future is waiting patiently

All I need to do is push on
