I tell my teachers,
'I have ADHD.'

My teachers tell me,
'You need to try harder.'
'You need to stop tapping.'
'You're so lazy!'

I tell my friends,
'I have ADHD.'

My friends tell me,
'You're so stupid!'
'You're so crazy!'
'Did you take your medicine?'

I tell you,
'I have ADHD.'

You tell me,
'Okay. And?'

That's all I could ask for.
'Okay. And?'

You don't care.
You don't tell me
I'm not good enough,
I'm not worthy,
I'm not smart enough or calm enough-

You just love me.
