Diagnosis

Dogs and Doom Piles

ADHD is such an ugly acronym

Entreat psychology to go back to the drawing board

The fulgent constellation of my mind

Not encompassed in its description

Cataloging deficiencies

A grocery list for everything you don’t want to eat

Side quests take precedence over

Mundane and lifeless

Mandatory duties

At least the Weiss Scale bestows

A jocular release from internal castigation

Have some Vyvanse it will help you

To comply, align

Think in a goddamn straight line

Math is most certainly a trial but creating comes naturally

With free indirect discourse

I grant you leave to peer inside my consciousness

Then you will see

There is no weakness

You may dismiss your pity

It is annoying, I admit

To be inundated by over-sharing

Conversations so convoluted it is easy to assume

Intelligence is absent

Watch two people with the same wiring volley back and forth

Delightful to discuss quantum mechanics, Chappell Roan, and the meaning of life (42!) within a five minute span

You’re welcome to join us

Look! A squirrel!

Where were we?
