Assumptions

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.

  • The hidden fight

    Everyday I fight a hidden fight.

    you wouldn't know it.

    I hide it,

    At school, 

    In class

    at any moment I could breakdown in a fit of tears 

    of pain

    anger

    because I have hearing loss.

  • Moonrise

    The sun sets. 

    A stunning watercolor effect paints the sky beautiful warm colors. 

    A last hurrah before disappearing over the horizon. 

    Then, 

    there is moonrise. 

  • Speechless

    I am speechless.

    All the bullshitting and lies 

    from our government.

    OUR government.

    They say that they are protecting us.

    That's not what I see,

    "Don't believe your eyes."
