Soaring

In the gym

Three others are with me

I say:

“I will try to touch the rim!” 

“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me

I stand back 30ish feet from the rim

Readying myself for what was to come

Just think of it as jumping.”

Don’t overthink it.

Says a voice in my head

I start to run

Step 

Step 

Step

JUMP!

Soaring 

Soaring

Soaring

Contact

Falling 

Falling 

Landing 

Running 

In exhilaration

A feeling of purest joy.

  • Why can’t there be?

    Why isn’t there a day people know about to recognize people who are deaf and hard of hearing? 

    Why can’t there be one?

    It is a day but…

    I myself had you look it up to know about it.

    And I am hard of hearing.

  • Why does the world pretend?

    Why does the world pretend to act like nothing bad is happening?

    Why does the government, meant to safeguard the people, suddenly make this a monarchy?

    I find it stupid that some people think that this is all fine and dandy.

  • Worry

    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
