It's executive dysfunction

It's executive dysfunction
That is my self destruction.
Tasks that others just simply do
Are impossible to get through
Wanting to is not the question

It's not a lack of instruction
Please do not make that assumption
Do not tell me to just "push through"
It's executive dysfunction

I know there are repercussions
No need for more discussion
How to change, oh I wish I knew
Because then I wouldn't be blue
Over having this malfunction
It's executive dysfunction

My Mask #MightyPoets #OriginalPoetry #Depression #Anxiety

The mask I wear is only one color.
The shiny, bright yellow of the sun in the sky.
The mask I wear has only one face.
The face of a girl with the happiest of smiles.
The mask I wear covers the mess that lies behind it.
It drowns it in darkness and is never in sight.
The mask I wear hides the sadness and fear and panic and doubt.
It holds in the tears that fight to come out.
The mask I wear keeps all the bad stuff hidden.
So nobody sees the pain that I live in.
