ADHD Life
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

Yeesh, I don't like those puppets. Super creepy haiku, Lamar. Well done!
Well-wrought! Is it death that's cunning or the human mind attempting to escape change?
Beautifully eerie poem!

First of all, way to find an incredibly creepy puppet picture. Second, this is a nice and skin-crawling haiku for the spooky season. We are all but puppets…Well done!
This was a slam dunk Lamar! I think you're headed back to the winners circle! Good luck my friend! 💪🏾🎉
Creepy and frightening like Chucky from Child's Play or even Slappy from 'Goosebumps'.
The picture alone scares me lol. Not much does, but those things? Yeah.... Keep em away 😭🤣 Great work as per usual! Super creepy 🤗🤗
A rather horrifying haiku!
