I Am A Deaf Student

I am a deaf student
I wonder why I have a lot of peers
I hear nothing but silence in my ears
I see myself walking into a world that has no sound
I want my ears to hear the sound from the Earth's ground
I am a deaf student.

I pretend to hear sounds
I feel vibration but still soundless
I worry when I'm going to a place that's wet
I cry when people judge me before we've met
I am a deaf student.

I understand why everything is soundless
I say "Help me, I'm deaf" in American Sign Language
I dream myself teaching the deaf ABC's in Sign Language
I try to hear
I hope I will hear the hit of an apple schmear
I am a deaf student.
