Prayer On Learning I Have AD(H)D

 

I know what I have to do,

I know how to do it. 

I want to do it,

But I don’t.  

I really want a clean home,

I have many closets and cupboards.

I have time to clean,

But I don’t. 

I have phone calls to make and

Important papers to hand in. 

It’s not rocket science, 

But I don’t.   

My feelings feel so huge 

And they must be expressed. 

I’m told to calm down

But I don’t 

I know I’m rude,

When I see patterns and truth. 

I try to shut up

But I don’t. 

My friends talk too slowly,

So boring. 

I try not to interrupt 

But then I do. 

Blessed Holy Wholeness,

I pray to be happy. 

I aspire to completion,

I’m so tired. 

I’m lonely. 

I’m interesting. 

I’m so sorry I’m not normal. 

I give thanks for this diagnosis,

I think. 

Tell me what to do,

I might do it. 

Amen
