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?!
We are a group of people mostly under the age of 18 that according to the government might as well not exist.
We are underestimated by grown-ups
Because we have not been through all of school.
Almost every day I wear a hoodie.
To hide a part of me that I can’t escape.
It shrouds my difference from the world.
So that I can seem normal.
So I can fit in.
So that nobody can pick on me about it.
Every day at school is chaos.
The noise
The people
All the people
Sometimes I want to hide in a corner
To get away.
To recenter myself.
So that I don’t break down.
