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
