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.

  • Being

    Stepping outside

    after the rain,

    inhaling the fresh scent of spring.

    Taking a moment to just 

    be.

    Be with nature.

    Be in the moment.

    Nature has reset herself. 

  • Is it so hard?

    Is it really so hard to just be nice to people? 

    Why is it us versus them? 

    What makes "them" different? 

    "Worse" 

    We are all human, 

    all trying to get through our day. 

  • The Limit

    I reach my limit from time to time.

    whether it be at school or at home.

    I reach the limit of what my brain can handle.

    All of the noise of life becomes too much and I need to take a break.

    I need to turn my ears off.
