“No sound?”

Waking up normally, until I realize I woke up on my own without my mom yelling at me or my alarm going off.

It was 7:45, forty-five minutes after I usually wake up, my mom had already left for work

“No sound?” I ask to myself, I hear nothing

I go to school, wondering what would make my body do this

I arrive, I see people talking to me but I only see moving lips

I try to talk to them but they only turn their head like a curious dog

The whole day is weird, I can’t understand why I just went deaf

I take the most silent walk back home

I try to say hi to my family, my parents look at me like I'm just doing weird things again, I hear no barks, I hear no voices talking back, I can’t hear anything!

“No sound?”

I go upstairs, seeing what it's like to play video games

I can't communicate with others or hear sound effects I can’t hear my music!

I can’t believe it, my life has changed, and I’m hopeless to reverse it

I tell myself as a final reassurance  “No sound.” as tears drown my face
