Numb

I find it absurd that the President is doing so much bad I no longer have the capacity to feel any more.

I have become 

numb

numb to the fact that this man has broken so many laws you can't even count them.

numb to the fact that no one in the government is doing anything. Hell, they shut down last week for no reason except: We can't agree so we will not do our job while still getting paid.

why?

why do they pretend that this is still a democracy when it is falling apart right before their eyes?

why does each side blame the other while not taking accountability for their own actions?

I find that infuriating. Utterly infuriating.

yet so many are all so numb and have stopped caring.

    The hidden fight

    Everyday I fight a hidden fight.

    you wouldn't know it.

    I hide it,

    At school, 

    In class

    at any moment I could breakdown in a fit of tears 

    of pain

    anger

    because I have hearing loss.

    Moonrise

    The sun sets. 

    A stunning watercolor effect paints the sky beautiful warm colors. 

    A last hurrah before disappearing over the horizon. 

    Then, 

    there is moonrise.

    Speechless

    I am speechless.

    All the bullshitting and lies 

    from our government.

    OUR government.

    They say that they are protecting us.

    That's not what I see,

    "Don't believe your eyes."
