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.
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 wonder every day:
Do you like me?
You look at me sometimes.
I wonder what it could mean.
I wonder if I feel to you what you feel to me.
Crying.
It’s something that all of us have done
At some point or another.
Yet it is a sign of weakness!?
And I say that is false.
FALSE
I say that it should be a sign of strength.
So

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.
