The Dance of Desire: Understanding ADHD in Women

Everything I say offends
Do I speak with a careless tongue,Unaware that my free speech is wrong?Is it my voice that cuts so deep,Into wounds you’ve chosen to keep?

I’ve traveled the worldLooking for treasure.Looking for pleasure—Anything,So I can getA full measure. I’ve seen the field.I’ve seen the gold.I’ve seen the generationsMining it for ore,They all come,And then, they all go. But why the lust,For more and more?Only to watch,As they slowly sink,Into the very same field:A field of bones. Spanish Translation He viajado por…

The Worth Of A Soul
A plant doesn’t have a soul;neither do trees, flowers and bees;snakes, birds and fishes don’t either,all they have is a spark. But I’m not so sure about the humans,because more often than not,they let their animal instincts go wild.

You don’t text me anymore
Poem I call and I text,but I don’t get anything in return.I don’t know what I didto deserve the silent treatment.I guess I didn’t rate.Now you have the upper hand.
