Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) -Sometimes I Can't Stay Still-In A Poem

©2012 LaDena Campbell aka justateacher

Sometimes I can’t sit still

I can’t focus on what I have to do

My mind runs a mile a minute

It looks like I’m not listening to you

I try to listen to what you say

I want to do my work

I’m glad that you give me a chance

Last year’s teacher thought I was a jerk

My mom doesn’t want me to take medicine

She’s afraid that it might make me sick

She says I have to learn how to deal with it

I’m glad you are teaching me tricks

I like it when you give space

A taped square around my chair

You let me move all around

As long as I stay in there

I like how you made me a rocking chair

By covering the legs with tennis balls

Last year my teacher made me feel little

This year you make me feel so tall

I like coming into your classroom

I do everything that you ask

You are more than a teacher

You are a woman with so much class!
