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.

    not in middle school

    And I want to cry.

    I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.
