Soaring

Sometimes I worry that I will get treated differently because of my differences.

I know that it probably won't happen in school with teachers

but you can't stop kids from doing anything 

not in middle school

Every day when we stand for the pledge I feel like a curtain has fallen over me.

holding me down.

I remember who is president for the next four years.

And I want to cry.

I want to sit down and cry a river of tears.

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.
