Never Would Have Thought
Cutting against the fog
Racing through the prattle
No it’s not agog
But boy, those chains can rattle
Never would have thought, huh?
Never would have thought
Pushing past the danger
Searing through the walls
No it's not a stranger
Dismissing all confining laws
Never would have thought, huh?
Ya never would have thought
Ropes are tied tight
Everything’s on track
Never would have thought, right?
You might want to take that back
When silence becomes a bad thing
And death is on the rails
The weariness is sure to sting
For the ship has eased it’s sails
Where once things were complete
Is now blank with guilt
Memories are bittersweet
Deconstructing which once was built
Fog surrounds the crash
Emptiness prevails
Sudden, like whiplash
The train of thought has flied off it’s rails

I wrote this piece based off of my experience with ADHD: I remember when I used to work SO hard at everything. I would pull all-nighters just to finish an essay, or study for a quiz. That work ethic lasted for about 2-3 years, when suddenly, it dropped. I stopped caring about homework, due dates, responsibilities, everything. My drive was gone, and I was left to wonder why. The guilt I felt was extremely heavy, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do anything. With that in mind, I wrote this poem to express the feelings I had felt during this situation.
