A.D.D. Poem by Maya Reid

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.
