Running without ears

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 

got back to where I started and

put my hearing aids back in.

Sound came rushing back,

Filling my ears.

Normal.

At last.

  • The Limit

    I reach my limit from time to time.

    whether it be at school or at home.

    I reach the limit of what my brain can handle.

    All of the noise of life becomes too much and I need to take a break.

    I need to turn my ears off.

  • Deep Thoughts

    I am a thinker.

    I think about big problems in the world and how to fix them.

    Like climate change, evolution, the state of humanity as of now.

    I write stuff down, half-finished thoughts scribbled, or typed on the page.
