Did You Even Know

In School they misused "adhd"
"Stop acting like you have adhd"
"I'm so hyper today, I think I have adhd"

And I felt the pain, like someone had hit my in the stomach, every single time. But what could I do? 

Adhd is not only hyperactivity 
Adhd is not only being detracted easily 
Adhd is not only high arousal
Adhd isn't my choice, did you know?

I would have begged them to stop, but I was ashamed of being different in such a way that I had problems understanding it myself

I tried to hide it. "Why do you take those pills" they ask. I have a problem with signals in my brain. It's psychical, I tell them. They understand because psychical things are so much easier to understand

Noise

A thousand different voices, I don't know what they say 

Two songs playing at the same time, make this go away

The horrible sound of a Siren, are you sure you can't hear it to?

I really should be asleep now, But  what can I do?
