ADDERALL { A poem }

by Joy Sorrells
(Thomaston, Georgia)

Trevor with his big sister Jessey before he started Adderall.

ADDERALL
What have you done to my little boy?


Adderall,
What have you done?
My little boy stays blue
Now that he's taken you!
No longer does he play and have fun......

Trevor,
A Beautiful Boy with A.D.H.D.
He once was happy and full of glee.
That was before 'YOU' he did greet.
I remember when he was sweet.

Smiles,
Once there were smiles as big as a mile,
Now only sadness and crying replace his smiles .
God how I wish I could fight for him back!
But how do you fight ADHD anyway?

Mindless,
Why aren't you working like the Doctors said?
Instead you have taken my child away!
He has entered into a mindless state.
As he now walks around hollowed faced.......

Written for
Trevor :
Mommy loves you!
Stay strong and believe me
I will forever watch over you.
Even when you're feeling so blue.

Update:
Trevor has been taken off Adderall.
He now takes Concerta...
I am Happy to say we have our little boy back.

Michele Mitchell responds...

Thank you so much for a beautiful but sad poem! I am so glad you have your Trevor back... sounds like, for HIM, that medicine was just an awful one. Thank goodness he has YOU to fight for him. What a wonderful mom... what a wonderful poem! Thank you for sharing.
