It's executive dysfunction
That is my self destruction.
Tasks that others just simply do
Are impossible to get through
Wanting to is not the question
It's not a lack of instruction
Please do not make that assumption
Do not tell me to just "push through"
It's executive dysfunction
I know there are repercussions
No need for more discussion
How to change, oh I wish I knew
Because then I wouldn't be blue
Over having this malfunction
It's executive dysfunction
I am a mother with ADHD
Overly permissive or too severe
I can never find what is in between
Routine I can never seem to adhere
Confusion is our normal way of life
The children never know what to expect
Why couldn't I be a more normal wife?
Maybe then everything could be perfect
But perfect is simply a fairy tale
This is something I easily forget
And yet I keep seeking this holy grail
This journey always causes me to sweat
I am trying to find a good middle
Finding it, though, is such a hard riddle
