My unaccepted world

When I was little, I could hear

When I was little, I lost my hearing

When I was little, mum didn’t want to take me out

Because I did not understand the world

Because I could not hear the world

When I grew older, I completely forgot my hearing

When I grew older, I was a very sad boy

At some point I was happy

At some point I was sad

Because of what happened in my lifetime

Now I am a teenager, I don’t feel like a boy

I feel like a man now

Now I’ve found an unaccepted vision loss

I don’t feel like anything … just like an unknown man

Now I’m a teenager, I’m having a very hard time

Of knowing what I can do and what I can’t do

Now I am a teenager, I can accept my hearing

Now I am a teenager, I cannot accept my vision

Now I am a teenager, I do not accept certain things

Though I can accept some

Now I’m a teenager, as time goes past

I will not know what the future looks like

Or how long my vision will last

All I know is that I am a sad boy

And this boy is Vincent
