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.

  • Why can’t there be?

    Why isn’t there a day people know about to recognize people who are deaf and hard of hearing? 

    Why can’t there be one?

    It is a day but…

    I myself had you look it up to know about it.

    And I am hard of hearing.

  • Why does the world pretend?

    Why does the world pretend to act like nothing bad is happening?

    Why does the government, meant to safeguard the people, suddenly make this a monarchy?

    I find it stupid that some people think that this is all fine and dandy.

  • Worry

    Sometimes I worry that I will get treated differently because of my differences.

    I know that it probably won't happen in school with teachers

    but you can't stop kids from doing anything 

    not in middle school
