The Tips of an Iceberg

I can't sit still. No, you're a troublemaker

I can't be quiet. No, you're disrespectful

I can't study well. No, you don't care enough

I can't stop fighting. No, you're a bully

I can't get good grades. No, you're stupid

I can't find success. No, you're a loser

You are a delinquent

No, I have ADD. And you can't judge me

<p>I myself do not have ADD. But I love being able to step into another's shoes and imagine life through their eyes. And that is precisely what I was doing in this poem.</p>
