Chained

I am forever chained to technology.

Everyday I put on technology that will allow me to hear “normally.” 

I will always have to put something in my ear to hear at human standards.

I hope that one day I might not need the aid of technology to understand what is happening around me.

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.

    Maple with their sap soon to be syrup.

    Willows weeping in the new dawn light.

    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?”
