We as Americans are very self centered.

We think that the world revolves around ourselves and not anyone else.

We lack in awareness that allows us to be able to say “oh that has nothing to do with me and that’s okay.” 

Why isn’t there a day people know about to recognize people who are deaf and hard of hearing? 

Why can’t there be one?

It is a day but…

I myself had you look it up to know about it.

And I am hard of hearing.

Why does the world pretend to act like nothing bad is happening?

Why does the government, meant to safeguard the people, suddenly make this a monarchy?

I find it stupid that some people think that this is all fine and dandy.

Sometimes I worry that I will get treated differently because of my differences.

I know that it probably won't happen in school with teachers

but you can't stop kids from doing anything 

not in middle school

Every day when we stand for the pledge I feel like a curtain has fallen over me.

holding me down.

I remember who is president for the next four years.

And I want to cry.

I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.

In the gym

Three others are with me

I say:

“I will try to touch the rim!” 

“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me
