I'm too excited to sleep

I'm going to start taking piano lessons again!
And I can't stop thinking about it.



(Or I just drank too much coffee this morning
and my tiny cup o' tea had too much caffeine this afternoon...
I'm very sensitive.)

Left behind...

Alright so I haven't posted in a while...sorry....
I'm just going to be honest here for a bit okay?

They want me to go back to this old psychologist I saw
back when I was in college and when I was a kid,
they want me to get tested for adult A.D.D.

I quit taking medicine in college because I just didn't want to be on meds forever.
An old roommate of my sisters prayed for me to be delivered
and I thought I was

Five or so years later I'm still playing through my old piano music
and listening to recordings of my favorite pieces
I used to play
and usually
I cry
what if I had been practicing all those years
I was so productive when I was taking medication.
I would practice for hours
and I loved it.

I was good and only getting better.
Now what?
I'm unmotivated, goal-less and my job is slow and irregular.

I don't want to go to the psychologist because
it makes me feel kinda dumb.

I don't want to be diagnosed with A.D.D. again because
that makes me feel like a child.
I don't want to feel like I've already failed at life.

I just want to be normal.
