Scared

I woke in the middle of the night

Oblivious to the pain that would come in 4 hours 

When I woke up to my dad next to my bed a sad look on his face

My world shattered.

My perception of things crumbled

All I could think about was the fact that this man was now going to be in charge of the free world in two months.

I was and am scared.

Even now, I am still horrified at the reality that is now our world.

I try to forget about it but my mind strays back to the thought lingering in my mind.

Like a curtain of black, endless void shrouding my thoughts.

I am scared and it's okay for you to be too.

We can be scared together.

We can get through this 

Together.

  • Anxiety

    When I go to school on occasion I worry that I will be treated differently because of my hearing.

    something completely out of my control.

    I fear that a teacher could pick me out of the class because of my differences.

  • Nature's Beauty

    Redwoods standing tall and strong.

    sycamores with mushroom-like foliage.

    Maple with their sap soon to be syrup.

    Willows weeping in the new dawn light.

    Cardinals singing on the branches of a oak tree 

  • Silently judged

    Every day 

    I feel like I am constantly being watched.

    Judged

    And looked down upon.

    I know that this might not be true 

    But I feel the same regardless.

    Because that is human nature.
