    A.D.D.

    A.D.D.



    I’m starin at this paper

    Tryin to take this test

    But I’m stuck readin number one

    Over and over again



    Because the letters of every sentence

    Of each word

    Seem to rearrange themselves

    To spell your name



    The whole page comes together

    To form a sketch

    Of your face

    And still I try to focus



    I tell myself to concentrate

    But you’ve given me a condition

    Some call it A.D.D.

    But I have a better name: waiting for you to love me.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
