Just because I have ADHD
Doesn’t mean I can’t learn.
Doesn’t mean I can’t focus in school

Just because I have ADHD
Doesn’t mean I am different.
Doesn’t mean I am weird.
Doesn’t mean I am not normal.

Just because I have ADHD
Doesn’t mean I can’t control myself.
Doesn’t mean I should be treated unfairly.
Doesn’t mean I am stupid.
Doesn’t mean I can’t succeed at anything.
Just because I have ADHD – Doesn’t change who I am.


The author's comments:
I wrote this piece because there came a time in my life that I was being bullied and I needed some way to let it out. One day in English class we were writing poetry and this came out of my mind. I want this piece to tell the reader that you are who you are. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This poem speaks to the hundreds of thousands of kids who at times are treated differently for various reasons. Kudos to the author, Brittany Miller, for her courage and strength.

You are to be admired for reaching for your goals in life (as you should).  So nice that you express yourself to others who need this inspiration.
