Singled Out

I always feel singled out of the crowd.

I wonder why they chose me.

I wonder why they don’t pick on anyone else when I am around.

I wonder why they pick on me when I have to deal with having hearing loss.

I wonder why I have to deal with it on top of everything else I already have to deal with hearing loss.

So I want to ask them 

Why do you pick on me when I am around?

Why do you make my day harder for your pleasure? 

Why Me?!

  • 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.
