We All Watched On

A Poem About Change

By Luke DowningPublished 7 years ago • 1 min read

Things just change,Said the night to the dawn.Things just change,Said the dusk to the day.

And we all watched on.

We all watched on,As the days passed by.We all watched on,As another night died.

I'm Not Rude: I'm Deaf
Every part of my being trembles when faced with bureaucratic tasks. It’s intensely triggering for me. The very thought of tackling the paperwork and navigating complex procedures is enough to make my heart race and my palms sweat.
