I've been thinking about this for over 3 years now
I have finally decided I should get a cochlear implant.
I was always so scared of the surgery that needs to take place in order to hear better.
I have finally broke through my fears and decided to get the surgery.
I decided to get one in February, even though I'm still afraid. I'll still go for it.
I've decided...
I've decided...I'll do this for my friends.
I've decided that if I want to hear better,
listen and hear my friends' laughter and joy...
I've always wondered what its like to understand exactly like them...
I've decided...
That if I wanted to hear news, if i wanted to listen to music, that if I wanted to fit in better, that if I wanted to listen to what my friends were saying.
I've decided...
One day in February, I will sit up in the hospital bed, and try the implant. I will burst into tears and tell my parents: "I'm crying mom...I'm crying tears of joy!"
I've decided that my future will be much brighter...
...I've decided this...
will be the turn of my life.
This was made last year in the summer because the doctors didn't think I really wanted the cochlear implant, so I wrote this poem to prove that I do. The operation is now on March 9th, please wish me luck.
