Sometimes I have a fit of rage because I have to deal with being hard of hearing.

I wish that I didn’t have to deal with all the shit I have to deal with for something out of my control.

Something that I can never change.

I am chained by who I am. I can not escape that so I try my best to embrace what I have and not what I could have.
