Hyperacusis

Hyperacusis

A Poem by Dominik D. Rites
"

Something was bothering me today.....

"
                                              How bothersome,
                                                 Lonesome,
                                                  
                                                  Fearful
                                                 Yet calm.
                                        
                                               How strange,
                                                 Yet loud,
                                              And annoying.
                                                 Recoiling,
                                        Like an uncontrollable bomb.
                                              I clutch my head,
                                            but the pain instead,
                                           suddenly began to soar.
                                            The warm and wet,
                                              
                                              Dripping,
                                              yet I fret,
                                  
                                        As the noises began to roar.
                                             Cough, 
                                             cough,
                                             sniff,
                                             shift.
                                         I struggle to stand upright.
                                           Ahem,
                                           ahem,
                                           thud,
                                           ring.
                                       It ached but I held on tight.
                                       I stumble along,
                                       my legs shaking,
                                       as I clutch the bathroom door.
                                       Rip, 
                                       rip,
                                       pop,
                                       slap.
                                       The cold and wet tile stained with gore.
                                       I stand up straight.
                                       The relief feels great,
                                       as I stride back with my head held high.
                                       The fearful faces,
                                       in all directions and places,
                                       as the sounds learned to die.
                                       I kick my feet up,
                                       My smile wide,
                                       as I listen to the silenced noises.
                                       Silence,
                                       silence,
                                       silence,
                                       silence,
                                       It's quiet,
                                       but I soon heard the voices.
                                       "He's dead"
                                       Said the voices in my head.

Author's Note

Dominik D. Rites
A bit disturbing but you know what else do I tend to write? I normally don't like writing poetry because it involves having to rhyme words together but I just wanted to do this because I wanted to. In this quick little poem, a person with hyperacusis is so tired of every day noises that they decide to remove their ears surgically in a public bathroom and walk out with blood and fluids still staining their skin and clothing, and then they dream about having escaped the pain, but really it was because he had accidentally failed the surgical removal and died at the hospital. That's why it's so quiet.....
