6 ways to look at deaf ears

The melodies that help
You escape
Are now contained

Never having to hear
Backstabbing words
From behind you

No harmful words
Can crawl into
The shallow mind

The cries of suffering
You don’t ignore
But wish to hear
Only they spray across your
Unknowing face

Missing your toddler’s laughter
And never to hear the words
“I love you”

You experience a different world
Having to imagine voices
Inside a head that cannot control
The outside world.
