What's with my brain?
Living each day with ADHD and social anxiety
Heart pounding
Mind racing
Too many colors
Too many sounds
Sensory overload
*
Inhale, exhale, exhale wait no
Pull it back under control
Deep breaths to steady me out
Keep the anxiety under control
*
The way people look and stare
I know they're watching me
I probably look ridiculous right now
Standing here fidgeting
*
Trying to hold
Thoughts on my mind
Wait what just glinted
Now it's all gone
Wait I got it back
*
Whose playing music
Oh that's just my mind
*
Now I want to dance
Wait I'm in public
No dancing right now
Wait is someone talking
"Sir what do you want?"
*
Right I came here for food
What was it I wanted
That's right it's in my phone
"Um.. ten chicken nuggets please."

Talented Black creators spotlight: Catherine Nyomenda (Chap 3).
Catherine reminds me of an enigma wrapped within a riddle. When she writes, she skips between the poetic and the dramatic. Her highlights of the African lifestyles of herself, of authors whom she admires, and the many nuances of love keeps you wondering and pondering the passage of life.
