Anxiety

When I go to school on occasion I worry that I will be treated differently because of my hearing.

something completely out of my control.

I fear that a teacher could pick me out of the class because of my differences.

I know that this is not likely

but that does not stop me from thinking about what I would do if that did happen. 

I imagine that happening and see me getting up and walking out of the classroom if it is clear that it's about my hearing aids.

I worry that if I am feeling fatigued during the day that a teacher will not care. 

that they will say just go to the nurse 

who will not understand that for me to feel better I need to listen to music.

they won't let me do that.

And that's not fair.

even though its unlikely I still have this fear and I don't think that will change.

  • Silently judged

    Every day 

    I feel like I am constantly being watched.

    Judged

    And looked down upon.

    I know that this might not be true 

    But I feel the same regardless.

    Because that is human nature.

  • Expectations

    As a teenager I am expected to conform.

    Even though people tell you that you should be distant “stand out from the crowd” the second you do they tell you “what are you doing?”
