Deaf Inside

A narrative poem/story created by yours truly, which tackles and exposes one of the worst traits of modern society: Crab Mentality. This story tells about the life of 17 y/o teen Gris, a schoolboy often bullied socially because of him being an introvert despite having superior intelligence. A bomb explosion occurred in the cafeteria later on near Gris, but he fortunately survived the explosion, only to be diagnosed with hearing loss after the intense sound of the explosion affected his hearing. It was later discovered that his hearing loss is incurable, forcing Gris to experience his new life without hearing anything. He experienced depression but he continued to strive harder until a decade later, he became not only a Magna Cum Laude in his school, but also he became one of the most influential and inspirational teens of modern society, hoping to change the world with his success from his experiences.
