Every day

Some days during the last block of school I feel like falling asleep.

Not because I don't care about school. In fact I want to learn,

but sometimes by the end of the day I am so tired from listening and understanding the rest of my teachers. 

Working ten times harder than the rest of the kids in  my class

yet forced make it seem effortless.

I have to listen as hard as I possibly can,

then go to a class about how to listen to people.

In a class where I have to actively listen about how to actively listen.

It's just not fair.

I am surrounded by people who say that they "understand" what I am going through. 

When they can't possibly even fathom the struggles I deal with on a daily basis. 

School makes me sit for eight hours a day doing the hardest thing they could ever make me do:

Listen.

Why does it seem like they don't give a shit?

I feel like I should get an A+ just for showing up to school and giving it my all every day even though, on the inside I want to scream at the world about how unfair it all is that I have to deal with being as close to deaf as you can possibly get.

Every other day of the school week I have to go to Spanish class at the end of the day when I am so tired that I can't comprehend what the teacher is saying no matter how hard I try because I have doing the same thing all day to understand a language 

I 

am 

fluent 

in. 

It's not fair that I have to try this hard to understand what others are saying, only to hear them say that they understand how it feels

When 

They

Just 

F***king 

Can't!
