Don’t speak
You can’t hear yourself
So why should the world hear you?
Don’t fall in love
Why should you
When you can’t understand your lover
Don’t stand up for yourself
It’s all right to be quiet
You can’t take notice of the support
You’re deaf
“Hello.” – “I love you.” – “I agree with you.”
You can’t hear those
You can only feel the hum of the throat
See the lips pucker and curve
Sight and touch can only do so much
Is it enough?
For them it’s not
But for me?
Don’t let other people shape you
Every person is unique
Your deafness makes you unique
Don’t back down
Fight for who you love
There’s always a chance of winning
Don’t shut out the world
Just because it is silent
In the end, the world is always kind

Ross, I loved this, really beautiful. The one thing that bugged me was the end stanza, it got a little preachy and I was kind of disappointed with the last line and how it ended. But other then that I loved it!
Keep writing!
Loves you <3
