It was a leisure morning walk,
On a cold and breezy August,
Autumn was dawning then,
It started to paint the surroundings.
...
I walk through the pages,
Sing through each chirpy line and rhyme,
Weep through each emotional expression,
Or seem to leap and dance
...
I’m Deaf.
You call me deaf, a hearing-impaired,
You communicate with me through your hands,
...
At the stillness of the night
I heard creatures sigh
Something like a sweetheart’s chant
For a mate to meet and love
A rendezvous at midnight
...
You put me under your watchful eyes
Under the magnifying glass you scan my flesh and bones
You view me on your television
And classify my personality as the villain.
...
You think I am deranged,
Everyday you try to shrink my brain,
You play with my mind like a charmer,
I dance to the music like a show girl,
...
From creek to river
To bay to sea,
Water seems to invite me,
Not only to drink
...
I've come to realize,
How foolish of me to trust,
Somebody who do not have,
A sense of truthfulness,
...
As I packed my things,
I looked around and see,
Many things of the past,
That remind me of we;
...
Awakening in reality that I am a growing child,
Recognizing the faces behind the voices I’ve heard,
Knowing to walk and to grab anything near my side,
Walking without a hand to hold and to guide,
...
