The Momma Clan

I dived into an arranged dilemma,
And conjoined myself with an unknown enigma
Distinct names wired into my brain
My thought process attained a wrapped refrain.

My poetic verses drifted away from my hemispheres,
The ballads and the rhyme schemes bounced into dispersed spheres
My raw psyche moulded itself into a new role
And I tumbled into my newfound goal.

Goals entwined with the journey of motherhood,
It caught me all over, my body, nerves and my mood
I discovered the realm of ADHD
Attention deficit hyperactive disorder.

The arranged dilemma made me rediscover my new self
The virtues of patience, courage and resilience seeped in like an elf
Weight of unknown challenges crowned on me
Clutches, too tight to let go free.

Creativity never took a backseat
Each day a new war for me to beat
Constantly on the toes day and night
I wonder if I am an unseen knight.

Happiness disorder I say,
Coz happiness is finding our own way
I fumble and dwell in an unrefined array
With an unknown destination, for relief, I pray.

Chaos and mess are my friends
Echoes of voices meet me till the end
Unforeseen allies greet me now and then
In every situation, I twist and bend.

I call this an ‘Arranged Dilemma’
One by one new dimensions arrive
And every time I strive to survive
Learning to gain back new vibes.

I call this ‘Happiness Disorder’
With no treatment, I live in this order
I choose happiness and seek no cure
For my child is pristine and pure.

I smile at insomnia,
My face is masked behind clogged charisma
I struggle to declutter
But in my mind, I try to keep it better.

My superpower is my child,
My arranged dilemma makes me love him wild
Happiness an induced disorder is a choice
I follow my inner voice.

Battles are fought all alone,
And thus my superpower shone,
Material gains don’t attract me
Only a single heart who understands thee.

ADHD took away so much,
But multiplied lessons even more
A bond to break free from worldly desires
It taught me a life of minimalistic attires.

My child and I,
Break through the day together
As defeated winners, we emerge
And then we both embrace

The arranged dilemma happiness disorder.

This write-up is a tribute to ADHD children and their shining armour – Their moms.

The mothers mostly fight the battle all alone. They fight health issues physically and mentally and still believe their child is the best thing that happened to them. Her heart is full of unsaid feelings and submerged desires; her dreams and relationships go haywire, but still, she is the strongest mother. A God’s chosen warrior.

A dedication to all the moms who deal with ADHD kids.

Please support such moms mentally and physically; they need help, but mostly, they are overlooked because a mom must always take care of her child.  Why does the village disappear after the birth of the child?  Still, with no support wars are won.

Yes, I am a proud ADHD mother.
