Deaf
"Show me a sign and I'll understand"
Words I tell God as I face up
Hoping that this time I'll get a reply
For at this point I'm waiting for anything
Ever since I can remember,
The world around me has been silent
It's like lips move but nothing is said
And mouths open and shout but it still silent
I've got my eyes to help me see the world
In ways that allow me to see it raw
Without the filters, cause I can't hear them honeycoat
Reality for I see it firsthand everyday
I learnt to use our own unique language
That helps me speak freely in the open
Cause media houses don't do that anymore
They're all looking the other side while the world hurts
I enjoy the world as it is,
It's a peaceful place where,
I get to enjoy the sounds in my head
And the rhythm on my feet
