These poems are excellent! I am hearing so even though I have my own problems, I still can't say I know what it really means to be deaf. But I think these kinds of poems along with books being written and all that can help the hearing world realize what it's like.
And every time I talk to a hearing friend about these things and they say, "Why don't they all just get implants so they can hear?" I make sure to do my best to explain the whole story.
Oh, but I think I get this part by a lot:
"What is it like to comprehend
Some nimble fingers that paint the scene,
And make you smile and feel serene,"
I LOVE watching people sign! It's like magic to me.
Absolutely! I never want to be one of those hearing people who try to change deaf people. I want to work at a deaf school one day so it's so important for me to know what you all feel.I think and hope some hearing people will read deaf people's poems and realized who we are and how we feel as a deaf person and not try to change us to a hearing person that we are not. We not ashame of who we are being deaf. Being deaf is just a handicap, not a curse.
