Frozen Instead
Is it the ADHD?
Or is there more wrong with me?
The longer the damn list gets,
The more on my ass I sit “
Fucking loser,” I mutter…
Insurmountable clutter
Mocks and snickers as it grows,
The Undone aims to overthrow
Frozen by the need of me
None of the things let me be,
The piles nor the people,
Worn hands can’t thread a needle!
Instead of doing “the things,”
To this page I plunge and cling
And now, as I near the end,
Checklist ready, but… NO PEN?!

so good! LOVE the line ‘The Undone aims to overthrow’
I FEEL this struggle
Ah this is wonderfull the way it just goes and goes. Trochees and iambs mixing it up or maybe just stumbling.
“Is there MORE wrong with me?” ouch! You’ve immediately illicited empathy from the reader/listener. “None of the things let me be,” and I get the things and people. Whoever thought laundry could nag us? I feel your frustration with DIS-ability. You make it real. Thank you!
