Pay Attention! No, I can't.
The fidgeter,
The space cadet,
what do they say?
A person,
an animal,
With the same attention span,
no way.
They make fun of us
when we try to fit in
They point out our flaws
As if we're aliens
The impulsiveness
the swinging of moods from hot to cold
Sadly what we go through is not understood
It is frustrating and rather old
To say that I'm just a label is not being me
I have something to tell you that I see
A girl with purpose
who wants desperately to teach
A person who adores music
and it's within her reach
However I must say
the challenges I face
The time management, lack of motivation
I find my mind is either here or in space
What is it that I struggle with, you say?
Watch as my story unfolds today.
From a little girl, I never knew
Just how much trouble I did do
I could never sit still nor shut my trap
All I could do was yap,yap,yap
I did not know what was wrong with me
I thought I was normal you see
Normalcy is normal
Atypical was not
Here I was bouncing like a bunny
When surrounding me were robots
I did not realize the hardships I endured
I am in a much better place now, I assure
To spell out its name
makes me think of the plus sign
in Math
Funny how that subject
was taking its wrath
The ironic thing of this is
this sign makes things bigger in its path
Why did I not think of that?
Throughout college, I suffered and failed more
If I was smart, why was doing simple work a chore?
However, when I found out a part of me
I suddenly for the first time
Put on my glasses
and was able to see
I had a (n):
Adventurous spirit
Determinded mind
Humble heart
and a
Delightful personality
And no one could tell me I could not achieve
Because I've make it this far
All you have to do is believe
With this, a learning disabilily is just a difference in learning
Not a determiner of knowledge
