my ears often listen to what they don't want to hear. instead of picking up all the words that; boost esteem, affirm, demonstrate love, my auditory perception has acute awareness for words that; depreciate, deny, exude hatred. i cannot come up with an inkling as to why my hearing is sharp enough to hear the whispers of disdain, yet deaf to all expressions of affection... it disconcerts my mind to a point where i now believe i only hear what i deserve.

What I Hear
