I was running down the street when it started to rain
So I took out my hearing aids.
The world quieted around me.
I kept on
running,
each foot fall
thudding through my body.
The wind
collided with my earlobes.
The sensation was
Odd
Something that I am not used to.
At last
I
got back to where I started and
put my hearing aids back in.
Sound came rushing back,
Filling my ears.
Normal.
At last.
I always feel singled out of the crowd.
I wonder why they chose me.
I wonder why they don’t pick on anyone else when I am around.
Rumors.
They suck.
I had one about me
That I was dating a girl that I was just friends with
But according to middle school boys that means that we are
I find myself both fearful and mad
At the outcome that happened on November 5.
I find myself wanting to curl into a ball and hide from it all for four years.
But I can’t.

It's always enlightening to read from the perspective of someone who lives a different life than I do, with different challenges, so thank you for that.
