Ep 2: When passion and ADHD collide!
• 7 minIn this episode I talk about ADHD and how it really did lead to me having this passion and drive to write poetry. You'll find out what I've integrated in my life to ease my anxiety and how dancers fit into the whole thing. Here is a link to an edifying article on what it is like to have ADHD as a women https://www.additudemag.com/slideshows/what-its-like-to-have-adhd/ Here is my poem in full... The name of this poem is called "I write" I write because my thoughts do not come quickly I write because verbal expression can be tricky As a child my words would come out jumbled I mumbled As my parents stared at me in dismay Thank goodness for my younger brother Who somehow could explain and understand my thoughts, what I meant to say The attempt articulate my thoughts felt like a waste of time I could not be understood, it was like my lips weren't mine I write because my thoughts do not come quickly I write because verbal expression can be tricky Even with age it did not just go away Ask me a question on the spot I begin to feel hot The pressure for an answer would make my brain turn into chaotic dancers I had to put in the work the dancers I began to train It was no easy task their strength training routine to maintain After blood sweat and tears through it all They worked with me They did not drop the ball We could work together because I allowed them to continue to dance But now they take a much more graceful majestic stance I write because my thoughts do not come quickly I write because verbal expression can be tricky In this face paced world how does a woman with ADHD find the mental energy and focus to SIT and write you may wonder?... This my poetry friend is where my special drink comes in ;) I love MUD/WTR for so many reasons but my favorite aspects are the calm sustainable energy it gives me and the immune system boosts.
