The Deaf Community
A world of silence
Language spoken through hands and body instead of voice
What most see as a disablity
I see as impowering.
The Deaf Community
A world, community bonded together
Through a language that has shown the world
You don't need to be able to speak with your voice
To be heard.
Growing up with a Deaf mother
She showed me how that is possible.
Now I long to be that voice for them
To prove to the world
There is no "Deaf and Dumb."
I will be the interpretor, that refuses to let them get pushed aside
Because The Deaf Community
Is my inspiration.
Their language, American Sign Language.
Is my true passion.
