The Road Goes Ever On and the Misty Mountains song (from chapters 16 and 18 of my comic adaptation of The Hobbit.) anyway: the symbolism of the parallels between these two poems ;-;. [Find links to all my projects here!]
The boss has arrived ...
The days
By sun.after.winter
There is no memory of my creation,
the days are stagnant and infrequent.
I've been here forever, or perhaps I was made yesterday?
Time has no relevance.
Today, I fall.
Nothing more, nothing less,
crashing towards the ground as time seems to stop
Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
I love people.
By sun.after.winter
I am a middle schooler
Stuck in between
Attending your classes
Remaining unseen
Fiery passion
Energy low
Nothing to accomplish
But so much to show
Adult or small child,
Nobody knows
Pendulum swinging
Back, to, and fro
I love them,,,
Wonderful poem / song lyrics
