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.

    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.
