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.
Wanting to fit in.
So when you feel like you're not fitting in you feel bad and shameful.
All because it’s your nature to want to belong and not be the odd one out.
So I am just myself and people don’t accept me that’s on them.
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.
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
As a teenager I am expected to conform.
Even though people tell you that you should be distant “stand out from the crowd” the second you do they tell you “what are you doing?”
