What are we doing?

We as Americans are very self centered.

We think that the world revolves around ourselves and not anyone else.

We lack in awareness that allows us to be able to say “oh that has nothing to do with me and that’s okay.” 

We lack in compassion for others.

We are always brings mg others down to further our own gain not caring what happens because of our actions.

If someone is different from the rest of the world we shame them for things that they can’t control.

Why do we view difference as a bad thing? 

Why can’t it be a good thing?

An incredible thing that we celebrate instead of shame?

Why do we care what others think of us?

If they are mean to you why do you care what their saying?

I get that it can be hard to filter out the hate speech but please they your best and t things will appear better.

I just ask one thing of all of you: please in these times of fear and anger be nice to everyone regardless of anything.

None of the social pressure we put on anyone truly matters.

So please stop being arrogant and start having empathy for anyone and everyone.

  • 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.
