What was that?

This is a sensitive subject for me, but this has been my life the past few months with anytime I workout along with tinnitus, so here’s my representation of it in poem form.

I can’t hear

I feel inferior

What is going on

Am I under water

✨

I hear an echo

I don’t seem to quite see

That I’m only echoing

To me

✨

I get overwhelmed

I feel lower

Does everyone around

See that I’m struggling

✨

They can all hear

Perfectly in fact

But I’m struggling

To read your lips

It doesn’t add up

And seems so whack

✨

I’m going to try once more

To work out

And have a genuine conversation

Without reading your lips

Anyone’s in fact

✨

But please don’t get frustrated

If I ask you to repeat your self

Once or twice more

For me to make since of it

And to be sure

✨

Instead of being puzzled

And trying to form a sentence

out of what I’m receiving
