I was running down the street when it started to rain
So I took out my hearing aids.
The world quieted around me.
I kept on
running,
each foot fall
thudding through my body.
The wind
collided with my earlobes.
The sensation was
Odd
Something that I am not used to.
At last
I
got back to where I started and
put my hearing aids back in.
Sound came rushing back,
Filling my ears.
Normal.
At last.
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.
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.
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."

It's always enlightening to read from the perspective of someone who lives a different life than I do, with different challenges, so thank you for that.
