Silence
I was deaf as a child,
Teacher stop screaming at me…
I can only see my L,M,N,O,P’s,
I can’t believe what you say
Cause all your words go astray,
Feeling the vibrations of my mothers vocal chords
as she reads to me my Curious George.
She doesn’t know the colors is what appeals to me.
Again and again I try to speak,
but the Lyrics of Language
can not come from my deafness.
I am a Deaf mute
But I’m not Stupid.
I am a Deaf mute
But I’m not Stupid.
I try and try, but why…?
Years and years go by.
I reach the world of the speech,
now I hear what you try and Preach
But I will not reach the perfection of my father’s desire,
just the manual Labor that he hires
I speak to you…now I hear you
But I can’t feel…I want to feel.
I am wanting...I am wanting…I am wanting…
To be like the rest of you.
Just a small boy entering the world
Sang Choir when the notes I could not speak.
Just a small boy no one knows…
I can not understand.
Talking falls on deaf ears.
