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.

Have been my whole life.

So wonder why I haven’t heard about it.

No one talks about it in school.

No one mentions that hundreds if not thousands of kids struggle with this every damn day!

I think that should change. 

My school should do a thing like they do for national coming out day.

Maybe not for people to like it but at least know that this thing exist and is struggles through every day.

  • The hidden fight

    Everyday I fight a hidden fight.

    you wouldn't know it.

    I hide it,

    At school, 

    In class

    at any moment I could breakdown in a fit of tears 

    of pain

    anger

    because I have hearing loss.

  • Moonrise

    The sun sets. 

    A stunning watercolor effect paints the sky beautiful warm colors. 

    A last hurrah before disappearing over the horizon. 

    Then, 

    there is moonrise. 

  • Speechless

    I am speechless.

    All the bullshitting and lies 

    from our government.

    OUR government.

    They say that they are protecting us.

    That's not what I see,

    "Don't believe your eyes."
