Annie's Misphonia Poem : 6th Grade

I Am Poem [Annie's Misphonia Poem]

 I am annoyed and optimistic.

 I wonder if bells are ringing somewhere.

 I hear taps, chimes and hums.

 I see tapping on the walls and tables.

 I want it to stop.

 I am annoyed and optimistic.

 I pretend I don't hear it.

 I don't care.

 I feel anger building up inside my head.

 I touch my imaginary stress ball inside my hand.

 I worry that Ethan will keep tapping his foot.

 I am annoyed and optimistic.

 I understand it will never stop.

 I say you can put in effort, though.

 I dream of bunnies to make me happy

 I try to keep my calm

 I hope I can stay intact emotionally, but

 I snap.

 I am annoyed and optimistic.

This is the BEST insight into a young person's misphonia. I wish it could go on a misphonia therapy website. It truly helped me understand my daughter more.
