Born into the world I could not see
The cross to bare that was passed on to me.
These entities inside my brain,
At first made me think I was insane.
Not knowing what was wrong and wondering why,
Destroyed myself esteem and I wanted to die.
It was too much to endure, this pain and strife,
It got to the point I wanted to take my life.
Learning from doctors these demons in my head had names,
Little monsters that loved to play head games.
ADHD and Bipolar had caused my mental demise,
Laughing at my fears and the tears in my eyes.
So now that I know what is the case,
How shall I fit into the human race?
Forever viewed as a social outcast,
I knew I shall never fit in as long as this last.
In a pool of ducks, I am the ugly one,
Trapped in the dark not able to see the sun.
To be only ridiculed and never understood,
I have always been the freak of the neighborhood.
Alone in the world with no one to relate,
These demons were out to seal my fate.
Suddenly, a ray of hope was dropped at my door,
Something that would help me no longer feel like dirt on the floor.
The wise doctors devised a magic potion,
Of medicine that would cure this painful emotion.
Then, finally, I was able to see the light,
I don't have to be locked into the dark of night.
With pen and paper in hand,
I decided to make a stand.
The words that came from my very soul,
At last happiness had filled this empty hole.
Still I felt like a swan drifting alone in space,
Until fate brought me to this magical place.
My prayers were answered, this swan has finally found a place to dwell.
The with other swans with tales to tell.
I had found those,
Who share my woes.
They taught me well that what we have is a gift,
Not to be bring you down, but give you a lift,
A team of leaders, with a creative mind,
They gave me strength, I never thought I would find.
They taken my broken heart and gave it joy,
People who are like me either girl or boy.
I am amazed how simular we think,
I like to call it the ADD link.
For there are times our thoughts are in tuned to one another.
We can feel or see inside of our sister or brother.
For the ones like us who are kicked to the ground,
We shall bring comfort to all that come around.
To help them learn and to make do,
Yes, my friend, we can help pull you through.
Through the years I have grown,
Now I want to share all I have known.
Before, I would not believe I would survive,
But today my communtity of swans makes me feel alive.
The more time I share with my second family,
All this time a curse it did not have to be.
I shall take what I have learned and make these demons my salvation,
You will see me leave my mark across the nation!
