I'm Not Really Deaf; I

I'm Not Broke. Like Everybody Else, I Owe Money.

Differences Are Scarier Now. The Dollar Isn't So Guaranteed If You Don't Follow What They See As The Norm. But I Don't Moan About It. I Just Keep Working.

I Have Made The Choices That Work Best For Me. I Know I Cannot Please Everyone, And That's Fine.

Watch Me When People Say Deaf And Dumb, Or Deaf Mute, And I Give Them A Look Like You Might Get If You Called Denzel Washington The Wrong Name.

I'm The Only One In My Family Who Is Deaf, And There Are Still Conversations That Go Around Me That I Miss Out On. And I Ask What's Going On, And I Have To Ask To Be Included. But I'm Not Going To Be Sad About It. I Don't Live In Sad Isolation. It's Just A Situation I'm Used To.
