Many of us joke around with terms like “adhd,” “bipolar,” and “schizo” when things or people seem unusual. I use my complex diagnoses with funny videos and some poetry to spread awareness and try to normalize that many of us struggle with some type of something when it comes to mental health. No matter what that may be: self care, therapy, medications, support… whatever works for you is what you have to stick to. It’s a slippery slope and a long way down when we don’t take care of ourselves. It’s a tough world out here, take care of you! Be kind! Keep going!
Stubborn Student
You stubborn student, listen to me!
1 + 1 will never equal 3.
The reason why you can’t do math
Is because you’re trying to use equations
And formulas that don’t exist.
Your studious strength
Has so much potential,
But you can’t half-ass apply
Knowledge while claiming credentials.
You sly, shifty sideline gazer,
Stop dividing your worth
Trying to equal everyone else.
With 7,942,645,086 humans or so
On this earth,
Why not just be you?
An ounce of self-assurance
Ought to do you some good.
Not the kind of a cocky, arrogant sense.
Just a cup of confidence.
But- you’re so stubborn.
