I hate the fact that so many people make assumptions.
About me.
The “fact” that because I have hearing aids means that I am deaf.
The “fact” that you need to speak louder for me to “Understand” you.
I hate that I have to put hearing aids on every day so that I can experience life “Normally”
I hate that I have to deal with the problems that come with being hard of hearing.
I hate that I have to deal with bullies on top of everything else.
I hate it.
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.
Redwoods standing tall and strong.
sycamores with mushroom-like foliage.
Maple with their sap soon to be syrup.
Willows weeping in the new dawn light.
Cardinals singing on the branches of a oak tree
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.
